I understand impatience when a new version comes out and it isn't in the
port's tree right away, but in the maintainer's defense:  I remember just
over a year ago when KDE used to crash rather regularly, now it is very
stable, he is doing a great job at maintaining that very complex set of ports 
and deserves all of our patience and support. :)
