But please consider server admin's point of view:
- squid33 had latest release on 2014-08-27
- squid33 has been scheduled for expiration on 2015-01-31, but was
  extended to 2015-05-31 because of ntlm_auth issue in squid34
- squid34 does not run on 10.1-RELEASE-pX
- 10.2-RELEASE is not likely to be before 2015-05-31

Which means that pkg installs of latest squid (www/squid34) will be
useless on latest FreeBSD release (10.1-RELEASE) for a long time.

I was looking forward to avoid it. Perhaps I'm succumbing to conformism.
