This wasn't my port but to scratch an itch caused by an older release I updated a port that IMO should have been -devel until it became GA. I now understand that alphas, betas, and rcs are handled specially. I for one will continue to make the distinction with ports I myself maintain I think there's some value to distinguishing between GA and non-GA software. ~Cy (using nmh at the moment)
