Well, I'm strongly influenced by my ex-RE-ness, but I'd think that the release notes would be one (but not the only) reasonable place to put this. We already have a note for the 2.10 upgrade, and I think that it could use a little more explication vis a vis: 1. The gnome_upgrade.sh script no longer upgrades ports that GNOME depends on (but are not parts of GNOME itself). Users may need to manually upgrade certain ports (for example, using portupgrade(1)) before running the upgrade script to ensure that they are compatible with GNOME 2.10. Specific examples are devel/libtool15 (1.5.10_1 or later required) and print/freetype2 (2.1.9 or later required). 2. GNOME includes support for the File Alteration Monitor (devel/fam) by default, in order to improve the GNOME desktop's ability to respond to files being added, deleted, or modified by other programs. To take advantage of this functionality, FAM must be enabled in inetd.conf(5). More information can be found in ports/devel/fam/pkg-message. Picture the above two paragraphs just below the existing GNOME entry in the release notes, with appropriate SGML markup. I assumed that the FAM change is a new one (between 5.3 and 5.4), right?
