 I've run into _many_ problems with Macports in the past couple weeks,
 including incorrect download servers and circular dependencies.  All
 immediately following a "port selfupdate".

 Debian has this concept of unstable, test, and stable releases, where
 packages make their way from unstable to test to stable and are tested by
 the community members that opt in to the unstable and test releases.

 A similar system for Macports would eliminate these recent problems that
 seem to be effecting thousands of users.
