which was my thought.

my thoughts were to _only_ do security updates or if someone is motivated
fix "it doesn't even compile" problems on the branch.  If someone wants
kde2 or whatever, they'll just have to deal with -current pkgsrc.

that said, its more work that we can handle at the moment to just work on
the trunk....
