And you fully understand the cost of those changes: cluster rebuilds, all users rebuilds, etc... So, if those warnings are removed from pkg_add, you won't do PORTREVISION bumps at similar commits? While I guess you may do it (bump portrevisions at the circumstances), The Porters Handbook says: "A rule of thumb is to ask yourself whether a change committed to a port is something which everyone would benefit from having..." As for me I definitely don't see here a benefit for everyone. -- WBR, bsam
