One of the most annoying things about staging (for me) is that it broke many ports "make install" from regular user. E.g. audio/faad and misc/mc are affected, just to name a few. At a glance, it happens because they first install files with 444 perms, and then try to do something on them. Previously it was done after su(1) had asked for root, but with staging, it's done as user, and thus fails. ./danfe
