I can not remember to have seen something like this in the past 5 years since I'm a committer or since the last ... maybe 8 or 10 years since I follow current@ and cvs-all@. And there where a lot of changes which affected the ports. And may I remind you that we talk about following POSIX so most of the programs we have in the ports should be ok? I agree that it may have been more nice if there was a HEADS-UP first (the age old behavior changes), and I agree that re@ should have had a chance to voice their opinion, but after reading all the mails so far I would say a lot of people are exaggerating. Andrey, if it helps, here are some virtual hugs from me.
