It's technically possible to move a tag, but it *should* not move, so this
wasn't the point. I called it "moving" because this project seems to publish
multiple "revisions" of the same developer release. To do it correctly, you'd
have to include this revision number as well in DISTVERSION.

But my main concern was indeed just the fact that this is labelled a
*developer* release. It's certainly ok to use that for a port, but there should
be a reason to prefer it over the latest *stable* release. I'd rather avoid
such decisions on ports I don't maintain myself, unless I can present a strong
reason...
