I agree with Kirill, in most case, user want devel version of ports, but some of ports maintainer (include me, ex irc/irssi) don't like to repocopy the devel version, maybe you can say "why user can't not upgrade by themself?" "why it need to repocopy, and put into ports collection" I don't know, not everyone know how to upgrade it.
