+<p>The Ports Collection supports the latest release on the
+FreeBSD-CURRENT and FreeBSD-STABLE branches.  Older releases are not
+supported and may or may not work correctly with an up-to-date ports

+features that are not present in older releases.  Wherever convenient,

+is sometimes unavoidable.  When this occurs, patches contributed by
+the user community to maintain support for older releases will usually
