I agree.  Maybe -arch@ for testers is an overkill.

I think ports cluster is needed, if there is some ports that depends on
base ncurses (we have years of stale ncurses in base and it's possible
that some ports depends or say, misuse that fact)...  If there is no
API/ABI change in the new ncurses then it would be Ok to just go ahead
and commit the change, however, we have 15K+ ports so making sure is
mostly a safety belt :-)
