None whatsoever. However, switching from devel/autoconf ->
devel/autoconf253 and devel/automake -> devel/automake15 is not as
trivial as you'd expect, and will require a reasonable amount of effort
to verify that nothing breaks.
I'm going to let the current new world order of autotools bed down for
a little bit, then work on that conversion. In parallel with this,
ports maintainers etc should be looking to migrate as many ports as
possible towards {libtool15,autoconf259,automake18}
