* To put it another way, if something as minor as a new version of TCL * going in screws up the ports collection this badly then we've already The problem is not whether a new version of tcl is "minor" or "major", Jordan. The problem is that many ports rely on the internals, and there is no easy way to make those ports work independently of tcl versions. On the other hand, the normal -current irregularities (Garrett's network header works, for instance), while it may break a lot of ports at first, are very easy to fix because it's just a simple "#if" job just repeated N times or N ports.
