Kind of a request for the future.

Can we move towards having all spells be the latest STABLE release, and 
for devel releases, have second copy of the spell '-devel' on the end.

This might require that dependencies be taken care of more like the 
requires method.  But I think it may be better in the end.

This would eliminate the beta mozilla versions, and the beta xfree86, 
several others.  But I really think unless the person wants to use a 
beta version, we should not try to force it on them w/ an update.  Have 
them choose the beta / development branch specifically.  Then it is the 
end users choice rather than, 'oh we want to use the latest devel 
version, tough luck if you want to use an older version'

Another reason for doing it this way, I'd like to see us return if 
possible to a point where people can safely update with a cron job and 
know what they would be getting.
