What about ports?  How do you propose that they be tested, as opposed
to "it-compiles-so-ship-it" on these 3.x boxes if, say, the developer
in question only runs 4.x boxes, with a single not-yet-built 5.x box
for when 5.x settles down?

Or can we stick with the current ports policy of tracking -stable
and -current only, with a good luck to everyone else?  And what does
this policy mean anyway when we have two -stables, with the package
building cluster building for three environments?
