or back all this out until its actually tested instead of breaking a 
percentage of the 26,000 ports out there?
Yes, we need this, but lets stop breaking things.

php54 broke things (still not fixed, pr's still in GNATS for this)
png update broke things (still not fixed, pr's still in GNATS. and its 
not even Monday in most of the world yet)
optionsng should have been 100% upward compatible.  you should not be 
forced to an an emergency update of a port you maintain just because the 
ports tree broke things.
