David, please stop whining that you didn't have time to read the proposal or make your objections/suggestions in time for its adoption. Just because it's not written down doesn't mean it isn't a rule. If Satoshi puts it in bsd.port.mk, it is a rule. I would not object to your lame objections if the rule was more than a month to 6 weeks old. But c'mon now, we're programmers, not doc-boiis. Let's be a little more reasonable here, especially with a rule that makes perfect sense to the vast majority of the folks following it.
