This is not related to your first statement at all. I just wanted to  
make you aware
that there are actually people out there, who don't use fink or  
macports at all.
They tend to don't won't to get into the hell of apt-get or yum  
cycles starting
every working day. They tend to like to have a reproducible dependable
*stable* working environment not infected with unstable buggy software,
which can be used as a shipment basis for customers too.

I don't care. This question is not related to the apparent  
instability and thus
low quality of GMP/MPFR at all.
