Sorry if I haven't made it clear, but I'm not talking about right now.
When Peter comes along with his semi-periodic Attic cleaning, the
history of pgsgl7 will be gone.

Um, the same goes to *any* port with multiple versions.  Ports that
change sufficiently enough from version to version that requires us to
give people the choice over the transitional period are imported with
the version number the second time around (and subsequent releases).

We've been doing this for years, I don't know why you are suddenly so
worked up about it....
