It makes since to me, but I'm a little confused about the timing of this
change.  It was rather annoying to update my 2.2.8-STABLE machine a day or
two after being told that cvsuping ports on a 2.2 machine might cause
breakage (re: the no more 2.2 support announcement) to find that *not*
cvsuping ports broke my ports collection because the makefiles moved to
/usr/ports/Mk.  Don't get me wrong, I like the change, but the timing
seems less the perfect.
