Kris K does -CURRENT packages, so we don't need to worry about them. For i386, we do 4.10-R, 4-STABLE, and 5.2.1-R as well, just to serve as many folks as possible. Which releases are viable for amd64? 4-X is out; 5.2.1-R is left as a candidate, but is it possible that there might be folks actually running that somewhere? I doubt it, since the lack of cvsup and - february it was - I guess the stack and redzone mess there was then _seem_ to make it a less-than-viable platform. What do you think? (More to the point, if you're running 5.2.1-R and not -CURRENT on amd64, would you want new KDE packages?)
