I disagree with you, i believe one of the most important ports feature is
to make sysadmins life easier. Sure, you need to read UPDATING before
update ports, but, it makes much more sense to bump the PORTREVISION of
dependant ports, when a lib version bumps, it makes life easier and sounds
more organized to me.
