Here's the current situation:

    % port search py- | egrep '^py' | egrep -vi 'no match' | wc -l
         336
    % port search py25- | egrep '^py' | egrep -vi 'no match' | wc -l
         105
    % port search py30- | egrep '^py' | egrep -vi 'no match' | wc -l
          10

A little work with the comm(1) command suggests that 74 ports are common to
the py- and py25- collections, 262 are unique to py-, and 31 are unique to
py25-.  How long do you think it will be before the py25-* ports
significantly outnumber the py-* ports?  It looks like that day is aways off
to me, given that there are currently about eight times as many ports which
appear to be specific to the Python 2.4 install as to the Python
2.5 install.
