AFAIK it's up to the maintainer/creator of the port if he uses a particular version number or allows every version of a library. > I also do not like this change.

Why is it harder? If you commit an update which changes the lib version, you have to search the ports which use it. If you e.g. committed a change to graphics/jpeg, you can grep for "graphics/jpeg". You don't need to grep for libjpeg.X. If the changed lib not only has a changed ABI but also a changed API in a way the port has to be patched, you can add the lib version at the time you change the port. At this time the port really depends upon a particular version, until then it doesn't.
