Actually, in my understanding a "sweeping change" is more about rearranging 
multiple ports, or multi-port updating (like xorg), repo-copying -- things 
that can not be easily undone.

For example, breaking up a database port into -client and -server (without 
even changing the version) would be more "sweeping", than updating gmake from 
X.Y.Z to X.Y.Z+1.
