Vague complaints don't count :-) The next time I upgrade all/most of my ports, I'll probably point them at something else. Then fix and send-pr (with patches, of course) anything that doesn't work properly that way. Of course, if the tool in question is something that comes in binary, I'm pretty much scrod.
