For the sake of user sanity I highly recommend not dropping beta (or
"unreleased") code on them with a PORTREVISION bump. Package users, and
most ports users, have no way to know if an updated package is a
"release" or a "candidate", etc. They just know there is an update.
Releasing huge changes with a PORTREVISION bump is quite surprising for
them. A synth-devel fixes this.
