For current ports, actively maintained upstream, it is obviously very desirable to get upstream fixed. However, a surprisingly large portion of the FreeBSD Ports Collection consists of aged, to avoid the terms rotten or abandoned ports (on our side and/or upstream) and I do not think it is worth sinking even more time into those by patching them. Or are you planning to reinstate WITH_FBSD10_FIX at that point and mass applying that to all affected ports? Gerald
