I was just wondering why there isn't a cvs-stable and/or a cvs-ports.

Yeah, I know I could get the equivilant with procmail, and I probably
will when I get a spare 20 minutes to spend on it, but I'm apparently
not the only one interested in keeping up with stable, but not so crazy
about wading through everything from the HEAD tree.

Would it be that hard to toss together 'cvs-current', 'cvs-ports', and
'cvs-stable', all pointing to the current 'cvs-all' list?  If 4.3-RELEASE
does end up being another branch, perhaps a 'cvs-release' would be in order
as well....

Am I completel off my rocker?  .. Well, OK, am I complete off my rocker
about _this_?
