Ok, but I still think it was a bad idea to do that without assigning
the task of modifying the existing ports to anyone. People like
myself who don't use ja-man and ja-man-doc have trouble installing
some of the ports which installs Japanese man pages. Some of these
ports are not Japanese specific, so there was a quite good chance that
this change to the mtree file would cause trouble even to people
living in non-Japanese environment.
Anyway, let's try our best to prevent this kind of trouble from
happening again.
Cheers,
Max
