Weren=92t there plans to run a =84stable=93 ports-tree at some point?

Does anybody know how large a ports-tree is without GUI-apps?

Our internal repo is now just shy of 1000 packages (most php53-modules, =
100+ PERL-modules, some python, ruby, apache, nginx, some java).

It=92s a huge effort to stabilize that tree between releases - I can=92t =
imagine anybody doing it for the full ports-tree without a couple of =
FTEs.
