You got those messages because you used "pkg_delete -f". They aren't
deinstalled in reversed dependency order, they are deinstalled in either
lexicographic order ("ls -1d /var/db/pkg/linux*") or in create-time
order ("find /var/db/pkg -name linux\* -print")... I'm too laze to look
up which order is used. If you use pkg_deinstall (from portupgrade
fame), it deinstalls in the reversed dependency order.

This doesn't means the patch is free of flaws. An experimental build on
the cluster showed some problems. We've through several rounds of
bugfixing. So far (the patch you've tested) we've fixed the major
problems (except one or two which we are investigating right now). Some
minor ones (since Kris hasn't forwarded those yet, I assume those are
general flaws of the current state of our linux-bits in the ports
collection :-) ) can be fixed after the patch hits the tree.

Bye,
Alexander.
