(as a helpful note) I think that larger project upgrades should possibly have a Wiki page for referencing progress so folks can work through issues with major port tree upgrades (X.org, perl, kde, etc). Questions like these pop up semi-frequently on the list, and it's helpful to have data rather than look around at each other and blink then shrug. I'll see about adding some wiki pages (if my wiki.FreeBSD account is still active), then I'll prod some folks for status info.
