Hi all,

You may have been wondering what we have to do with the new RELENG_4
(4-stable) branch.  The Ports Collection's policy has (almost) always
been to support the latest -stable branch as well as -current.
However, since right now there are two -stable branches from which
there are going to be releases in the future, I would like to modify
the policy a bit.

The ports tree is to officially support both 3-stable and 4-stable, as
well as 5-current as long as it is humanely possible.  Assuming 3.5R
is indeed the last release from 3-stable as planned, support for
3-stable will be dropped after 3.5-release, and we can go back to our
merry two-branch ways. :)

Until then, I will build packages for all three branches and the error
logs will show up for all three as well.  I am working on this right
now.
