The "GStreamer" ports were worked on during the ports hackathon this year, developers worked on reducing the amount of flavours so that it is easier to install.

Not only does this make it easier for users, but easier for them to maintain.

Nothing has been changed in the 4.6 directory, because stable packages are not yet available yet.. and when they are available, no major changes will be backported.

Typically only security and reliability updates, port restructuring breaks things if not carefully done.. so it's done in -CURRENT, where volatility is permitted.

As a general reminder, do not install snapshot packages on 4.6.. and until announced, assume all packages in the 4.6 directory are what was available when the release was tagged (..many months ago).
