This is not GnomeBSD, you know... You do not OWN these ports, you
MAINTAIN them. And if there is no maintaince long enough, you better
remove your "lock" on them. You do not owe anyone to keep things up to
date, but you can not claim a part of the project as your own fiefdom
either.

It is a perfectly independent piece of software which can be upgraded
independently after certain testing. A single port upgrade is not
a "sweeping change" either. If everyone held _everything_ off until
after the 6.0 release, the first month after the release would see a
disastrous waterfall instead of a steady trickle of changes.

In any case, the include/firefox/nspr problem is real and should be
fixed even with your view of what's proper during a slush.
