When we were changing default linux_base (at least the last time) we
had changed all infrostructure ports as well at once. There had been
no need to create other ports. With linux_base-fc6 introduction it
should be another play: both linux_base ports will coexist for a long
time (along with their infrostructure ports).

About fc4 ports. Have to think a little...

Yes, it seems to me a bad idea to have two packages with the same name
but for different linux_base ports. And for sure a consistence play a
good role here.

Well, it may be a good idea.

Thanks for the feedback.
