Well, when 3.7.0 is released (stable) I'll update net-im/openfire to
3.7.0 and mark net-im/openfire-devel as INGORE or DEPRECATED.
I don't think I'm going to maintain a backport of 3.6.0, but anyone is
free to create a net-im/openfire36 if they like.

UPDATING is used when upgrading a port requires special actions to be
carried out. I'd like it not to become a general replacement for Release
Notes or ChangeLog files. I.e., it is the user's resposibility to go
find out what a new release of a software brings in terms of
retro-compatibility, and what is needed to upgrade one's configuration.

Anyway I'll double-check the release notes and make sure to make the
transition as clean as possible for our users.
