--- Comment #7 from John W. O'Brien <john@saltant.com> ---
That's a relatively recent change [0] and I can find no traffic at all on the
ports list or ports-announce describing it, let alone asking for existing ports
to be changed. What's the benefit of changing? What problem does it solve? Is
it a problem with this port that I'm not aware of? Can a larger problem only be
solved if this port changes?

It seems like it creates needless churn, which frustrates me. Furthermore,
without sufficient reason, nor the coordinated effort required to convert tens
of thousands of ports to the newly preferred style, it also seems likely to
fizzle out and leave the tree in a more inconsistent state than when we
started, which frustrates me more.

I can appreciate your disinclination to revert the change. Nevertheless, it
leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
