This will work just fine for FreeBSD ports!
Same for pkgsrc.
The most important thing though is that the latest format *release* is always supported with security/critical fixes, so people are not "forced" to track RC's as they are now with 1.0.
But there can always be a parallel -devel package for those interested.
