Many time when I'm upgrading a server, for instance, I'll skip on some of the userland niceties. I don't get too upset about port version bumps of Emacs, but I want mod_php4 to be as current as possible. > True!

Surely the majority of those packages would be relatively stable, wouldn't they? -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
