Kris,

Having recently had to rebuild all of my ~200 ports on my STABLE box and
having to frequently slog at configuring, building, installing and
packaging on other platforms, I hold to my long-held belief that the
FreeBSD ports system is one of the finest examples of software
engineering.

Thank you to all the porters, maintainers, committers and supporters for
their hard work.

This message has been brought to you by mutt-devel-1.5.6_3,
postfix-2.1.1,1 and the number 4.10.
