 ports with a devel version anyway.

 I have no problem with that, to be honest. Its what the devel port is
 there for, to see how a future not yet released version works on the
 various platforms. As long as its not updated too frequently I don't see
 the issue.

 Plus if we want the arm buildbots to start using this, to build ports that
 require a fortran compiler, for instance, then at least that Buildbots
 will need to build it.

 Well, its probably a bit less stable that the normal snapshots, but
 honestly I would lay the same against the current versions. No one should
 be using the gcc-devel port for anything serious, regardless of the origin
 of the snapshot it uses.
