--- Comment #3 from Mark Linimon <linimon@FreeBSD.org> ---
Although I'm not involved in this, please allow me to try to explain.

Most long-term users of the Ports Collection are aware of the restriction that
only one version of certain pieces of software (perl, python, apache, ...) can
be installed at a time.  The effort to rearchitect things to allow that would
be quite large.

I know we don't advertise this fact very well.

What you were hearing here is just the sound of frustration.  I'm sorry.
