Huh? On my dual PIII running FreeBSD from 4.0 to 4.6.2 (and current)
Gnome1 has never been near stable. In fact KDE has never been stable so
Gnome2 is the first stable desktop environment on this machine. That
said it's not flawless - SCSI devices doesn't work with gnome
applications (ie. gnome-cd).

I don't find this a stupid question. I think it's rather nice that
somebody considers the consequences of changing a port like this. Seeing
what happened with mozilla (calling 1.1 devel) I find his question
REALLY nice.

I would prefer if Gnome-2.1 is either -devel or not in the ports tree at
all.
