Just to make it official, the ports hard freeze has been lifted.

Ports committers are now able to perform regular updates, just no sweeping
commits without prior approval from portmgr.  This period of slush will
continue until 8.4 is out the door.

Keep in mind that -exp runs are always a good idea if you think there is a
significant change to the ports tree.

And just remember, PLEASE TRY TO NOT BREAK THE INDEX!
