The single one -CURRENT vs. -STABLE difference that causes many easy to fix breakages is really gcc. Port-maintainers are quite the pigs in the middle when ports break because of gcc3's pickyness, the original authors of the ported software might not use (or care) gcc3 themselves and not every port-maintainer has access to a -CURRENT machine to provide selfmade patches.All I'm asking is that ports maintainers make an effort to maintain their ports. Will's accertation that it's an all or nothing issue is certainly not productive, and neither is the 'us versus them' inuendo here.
