Not at all, just an inventory. Lag time on new releases is totally
understandable. They need ported and tested. And life is first
priority :)

Using the packages-major-stable example for 8 and 9, we have this
FTP index. Notably, RELENG_8 i386 is missing the base 'virtualbox-ose'
package. I think it used to be there last month.

> Is it because the packages are not identical to the current ports?
The svn port -> FTP building process is presumed to have some delay.
Likely because, even though parallelism might yield a complete build
of all ports in a few days, it is surely and rightly checkpointed
by humans to prevent automated mayhem :)
