Code will either be maintained well, or it will not. I've seen plenty of stuff in src break, and the src build is often broken by under-tested changes (even in -stable branches). As I said in my original post, your attitude is anachronistic, and needs to change. It's not ok for people to make random sweeping src changes, even in -current, that break things in ports.
