IMHO 3.3 would be the best choice. Default already being 3.2. It only
provides a newer version to test against. Not unlike you're doing 
w/treesheets.
I don't see it as being any different than, php, perl, and several other 
ports.
The nice thing about this approach, is it's easy for maintainers to test 
against,
having  specific version to work with. Rather than "devel", which isn't very
specific/obvious.
