I sort of agree..
We protect ourselves.. we needn't bump the FreeBSD version I don't think..
If you have a good reason for it I'll do it but I don't think it is 
required.. No port will be compiled
with different options because of this..
I mean  5.3 and 6.0 will already have a netgraph recompile required..
