My suspicion is that users with gnome2 installed will want the -gnome version of the port. If it turns out I'm wrong about that, I'll happily take another look. However, that revision of patch-ab also gratuitously twiddled with the gtk settings, which was the main reason I backed it out. Finally, my understanding is that the xml stuff will be just as happy with libxml-2, so ideally there shouldn't be any conflict. But, as I said, if it turns out I'm wrong I have a head start on fixing it. > You had 20+ days to review proposed patches, And as I stated in the two letters I sent to the gnome@ team during that period, the vast majority of the freebsd-hacking time I had dedicated to that time period was taken up by the unexpected need to urgently upgrade BIND in 5 different branches.

The problem all along here Maxim is that you equate disagreement with misunderstanding. Now you will not have to deal with either. I think that this is a win-win.
