Those three at least are consistent failures and there are multiple PRs
about them.  But the random failures need to be fixed too.  With pkg more
people will start using packages especially for heavy packages like kde
and it's not good if kde or parts of it randomly disappear from the server.

My question was, will FreeBSD 10.0 ship with KDE 4.10 or with 4.11?
Do the 4.10 ports need to be fixed or not?
