That sounds to me like base_port >= non_base_ports. I'll agree. But not equal. Hm, I've used base of f6 and non-base of fc4 for a long period of time. Now I'm going to commit base of f9 (f10) and use it with non-base of 8. Utill apropriate non-base ports get committed. In fact, all those who now use other base ports than fc4 are falling into the list of users of this feature.
