 the stable version, I presume?

 Well, what's the point of maintaining and supporting a Devel port - apart
 from being able to whether it builds - if folks can't eadily test it with
 dependents?

 Upstream releases routinely cause breaking changes, with ffmpeg 5.x being
 one of the best and latest examples. But it would be much more of a pain-
 in-the-keister to determine that, without path-style deps.

 I'm speaking the obvious, but then, this entire discussion seems a bit
 left-fieldish. Why the sudden concern with `gnutls`...?
