None. Tag-slippage is still possible for each and everyone of those ports=20
individually without any problems (note that Qt 3.3.5 isn't committed yet a=
t=20
all). I plan to make a good deal more UI-file fixing commits in the near=20
future (for the KDE core ports), too - those will be equally tag-slipping=20
friendly.

However, I'm afraid that others have indeed (potentially) made life difficu=
lt=20
for RE in that respect - one commit I can think of would be the recent=20
libxine update which bumps the major shared library revision and thus affec=
ts=20
a great deal of dependent ports.
