* Maybe it's time to consider tossing the other tcl versions we've * accumulated in ports, and rename things to tcl/tk again. At least, I'd * like to hear some comments from anyone else who's experimented with stuff. No, we are not going to do this. The only renaming, if anything, would be tcl/tk -> tcl73/tk36. We have learned our lesson, and it is: if we have a port that is depended from a lot of other ports, and the authors do not preserve backward compatibility, we can't have only one version of it. I doesn't make sense to rename tcl75/tk41 to tcl/tk; when tcl76/tk42 come out, we'll have to do the same thing all over again. Satoshi
