Speak up now or forever hold your peace. I think people will care if the port is broken. I personally prefer ports to only have released versions, unless there hasn't been a release yet. In those rare cases where everybody tends to track development, add a -devel version. If people have problems with software installed throught the ports collection, it's better for us and the user that it's an official release.
