I still think that a lot of problems and unnecessary questions (mine included) would have been avoided if this major change in the ports system had been posted to -announce. Both the warning ahead of the change and the solution to the problem of remaining old directories. I'm still very puzzled about the reasons (if any?) why -announce wasn't used for an announcement about this. I mean, what other use does -announce have than announce new releases and other major happenings, like this?
