Hi, Thanks to Michael for bringing up this thing _again_: > Can I have him update his ports tree without bringing the system up to > stable?

I have previously offered to produce patches, but the offer was refused. > Anyhow, I'm just hoping that someone can help clarify this for me so I can > make introducing FreeBSD to a new user as painless as possible. This has quickly become my number one local support issue, and the number of times I've seen this on the lists now indicate it's quickly becoming a FAQ. Can we please rethink this behaviour?
