FUD.. portmgr never took any decision like this. The problem with portmaster (beside some design flows regarding the "not bu= ild in a clean room") is that it is not maintained anymore. (Note that it has n= ever been maintained by portmgr at all). What this means is, when some highly needed features such as subpackages and flavors are coming in it will just break. portmgr is taking that into accou= nt at that is one of the reason we have decided to block the adoption of flavors = for some time to give time to people to catchup and fixup the tools they do like/use (yes documentation and simple examples are coming soon(c)(tm). This not only concerns portmaster but also portupgrade, tinderbox and ANY t= hird party tools that works on the ports tree directly.
