Zsh 3.1.x is still beta and as long as this is the case I am, as the
maintainer of ports/shells/zsh, _strongly_ against this. Having a stable
shell is IMHO the most important thing. If anyone wants to play with new
and cool features, that's fine for me. That's why we have zsh-devel.
Replacing ports/shells/zsh with -devel forces everyone else to use a beta.
This is definately not a good idea.
