Some ports work, some don't.

The switch *happens because it's necessary*. I.e., some port
needs some advanced stuff from bsd.port.mk, pkg tools, or make.
That port will be broken on -stable because old tools and the
new port aren't compatible.

Come on. Do you really need bloat-gnu-tool-0.99-gamma-prerelease-16
*right now* on your -stable or could you possibly wait a few months 
and cope with gamma-prerelease-15?  The releases *do* come in 6 
month periods, you know. :-)
