Just to add my 2 cents:

I don't really follow the argument of bumping portepoch (it's not a very exp=
licit way of stating that this is not the original version - IMHO it's actua=
lly not what portepoch is about).

Based on the arguments I've seen I think renaming the port to ncbi-blast-plu=
s is the best solution - also for future users of the port.
