I object to both of the stated purposes for this commit. First, it's
been discussed to death that 1. .la files sometimes serve a useful
purpose, and 2. deleting them does not serve a useful purpose. Second,
if a user has the port installed already, a bumped PORTREVISION would
suggest to them that there is some benefit in deleting the existing port
and reinstalling. Here that is clearly not the case.

I suggest that you avoid all such commits in the future.

If you want to discuss this, please follow up to -ports@.

Thanks,

Doug
