usually we don't use unstable (from upstream) software even in -current
but in case we'll use again the stable version before 0.5 then it's up
to the maintainer. just in case after GNOME others would start to
package development releases in -current :)

of course if somebody say in a pkg's devel version there is <foo> cool
feature and it really worth packaging then (with a "-devel" suffix
appended in the pkgname) it can be pushed to extra, but usually it
requires too much time to maintain such packages. for example we already
have a mutt-devel pkg
