Theoretically, this should have triggered a FreeBSD 8.2 security update,
now that I keep thinking about it.  Did I miss an announcement in the
past few days?

Is that the same as setting it in /etc/make.conf ? That's where I have
"WITHOUT_X11=3Dyes".  And you're gonna regret that WITHOUT_IPV6 in a
couple of months. :)

(Googling a bit..)
