Hereby I request that www/mozilla-devel is upgraded to install Mozilla
1.2alpha.

This request should be categorically denied.  Requests like this are 
exactly the reason why the tag "-devel" should never have been applied 
to this port.

In order to prevent requests like this in the future, this port should 
be named www/mozilla and the current www/mozilla port should become 
www/mozilla10.  If Ernst want to support the alpha and beta releases, he 
can create his own version of www/mozilla-devel and follow all of the 
alpha and beta releases he wants to.

That would leave us with no port for the latest Mozilla Release version.
We should have three sets of ports:

	mozilla-vendor-stable*
		currently 1.0.1
		For ports/developers who need bugfixes only

	mozilla-release*
		currently 1.1
		For those who want the latest stable enhancement set

	mozilla-dev*
		currently 1.2a
		For those who want to test alpha/beta releases or get
		an early start on adapting their mozilla-dependant port
		to the upcomming release.


Personally, I think mozilla-release deserves the 'mozilla' label; but
I know some people think that belongs to mozilla-vendor-stable.  Probably
not worth arguing over...
