This thread was not > 'Re: ports/187468' on this list. "Taking this to ports@" implies that this thread did not originate on ports@. I could've simply omit reference to PR altogether; what context from the PR changes the meaning of "plans to have all ports depend only on ports"? IMHO leaving a PR number is enough for anyone who's interested to find the origin of the discussion, but I'm not that worried about PR rather than the problem with base dependencies. > Problems with depending on base: [...] Thanks for an in-depth answer; most (if not all) of this makes sense. Sorry if it was discussed earlier and my question caused you quite a deal of extra typing; all I can say in my defence that I really appreciated it. ./danfe
