It sounds to me like what you want are clear, bright lines that we can 
form policy around. I wish you luck with that. :)

Meanwhile, given the way that our ports and packages work bumping 
PORTREVISION is a blunt tool, and has tradeoffs. IMO ports committers 
need to have some firm guidelines for the common cases, but also to use 
their discretion on the edges.
