Synopsis: Release and Development Ports

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: roam
State-Changed-When: Wed Mar 14 03:43:20 PST 2001
State-Changed-Why: 
It seems people are happy with the current separation of certain ports
in -stable and -devel versions.  If you think a specific port should
also be split in such a way, you'd have to take it up with that port's
maintainer, inquire if they are willing to do the work involved in
maintaining two versions of the port, and/or offer to maintain a -stable
version yourself, if you feel up to it.

This is not meant to sound harsh or 'dismissish' in any way; it's just
an expression of how I, myself, see the current state of the FreeBSD Ports
Collection, and, apparently, how the other ports committers see it, too -
judging by the fact that there have been no reactions to my initial
comment on this PR.

(Eek.  Sorry if your grammar parser hiccupped on that last sentence ;)
