Like, if there's no complains like "ahh, it > broke everyhting, ahaha, please backout!", so everything's ok I'm not going to support this effort as part of the CVS ports tree (for the usual reasons when this comes up every few months), but there's nothing stopping you+your collaborators from maintaining your own stable ports tree in your own repository and providing your own support for it.
