 * From: Kris Kennaway <kris@FreeBSD.org>

 * This is what NetBSD and OpenBSD have done, but it seems like kind of an
 * ugly solution to me - it requires extra work when we break
 * backwards-compatability (must update the REQUIRES_VERSION of every
 * affected port and commit the changes), and is prone to being forgotten. I
 * didn't want to mention it because I'd hoped someone would come up with a
 * better idea.

Yes.  I especially agree with the last sentence. ;)
