Objection. The nginx project basically provides two versions of nginx: stable and mainline. New releases of the stable version contains bug and security fixes. The mainline usually introduces a bugs in a new features. This is why it has been marked with '-devel' suffix. For stable version FreeBSD ports tree historycally uses the same name as a software product has been named by author, for development version with '-devel' prefix. Also, I see no reason why user may cause to avoid using the www/nginx-devel port. Think it's always up to user to use or not to use any port from FreeBSD ports tree as well as FreeBSD operating system. -- Sergey A.
