I expect this would soon be a problem in dports too, then.

If you can keep the bootstrap compilers current (as needed for dports) 
then I'm confident I can develop a ravenports source port.  It's just 
that we'll need that bootstrap compiler updated with each release (or at 
least every other release) of rust, otherwise it's going to be too 
stagnant.

That would indeed be nice.
