The 3.5 ports are being worked on; there's nothing particular that can be done
there (what's holding them back is things like 4-DEPRECATED compatibility and
_other_ ports suddenly changing in incompatible ways). I suppose doing a test
build could help, but there's no public documentation on how to do so with
the ports testing area (lofi just told me how on IRC, but it's a nasty
business).

FreeBSD doesn't _do_ visibility stuff; we decided that the huge increase in
debugging and maintainability problems wasn't a good tradeoff for a 5%
decrease in startup time. Right now it looks like 3.5.0 will be skipped in
the official ports tree and we'll go straight to 3.5.1 on january 27th.
