Comment(by john_owens@…):

 Maybe Ryan changed his mind between January and December. :)

 Oh Oracle of Ryan, I know that consistency is the hobgoblin of little
 minds, but what are you thinking today about the right way to go here?

 Look, texlive is a nasty nasty port to write. I spent several weeks trying
 to help Edd debug 2008 last fall and we didn't get it working even then.
 It wasn't available until months after MacTeX was, and the MacTeX people
 are really good at what they do. And the selfupdate feature is really
 cool. Unless we have someone who really wants to take the texlive port
 over and make sure it's a rock and comes out soon after texlive is
 released, I think the right thing to do is to let macports users leverage
 MacTeX if possible.
