OpenBSD 5.0 (including ports...) was tagged today, so work on 5.1 is only beginning. Actually, I would think now is a very good time to be contacting espie@.

Much of what you are surmising about -stable may be correct, but contacting the project developers serves two purposes:
  • You might get your situation addressed.
  • Project developers are reminded that there are those who legitimately use -stable.
More over, there may be a third issue at bay: creating a package management system which covers a plethora of real world applications is a tough nut to crack. Maybe there is a fundamental flaw which needs to be addressed. If you pursue this further, you may get your problem resolved plus help other users. If you drop the matter & there is a bug, it will not get addressed until someone else makes the same issue known to those that can resolve the problem.
