I'm not sure this is the way to go, but ...

Can someone put a document on what is the desired model?  I think we 
have too much little pieces of disperse notes about this.

Also, some working notes about ports and RELENG_4/RELENG_5 src issues 
will be of interest.

Hope this can be tweak in time for 6.1 (Jan).
