Look, we own these ports, and this development model has worked for us
for a while now.  You should know that we are in a ports slush right
now, and there can be no sweeping changes.  If you followed this list,
you would also know that we have spent the last six months porting GNOME
2.12 (of which librsvg2 is a part), and it will go into the One True
Ports Tree once 6.0 is released.
