I agree with you that it ought to be. Personally I think people that
still use "#include <malloc.h>" should be forced to write out "#include
<stdlib.h>" 1000 times, then eat the paper. However, it is an imperfect
universe. ;)

(Overkill use of perl. I'm sorry.)
[keith@athlon ports]$ find [a-c]* d[ae]* [e-x]* -type d | perl -pe
's/^(.*?\/.*?)\/.*$/$1/;' | sort -u | wc -l
7384
[keith@athlon ports]$ grep -r malloc.h [a-c]* d[ae]* [e-x]* | perl -pe
's/^(.*?\/.*?)\/.*$/$1/;' | sort -u | wc -l

That doesn't include the non-English ports, which I don't track, though
there may be some duplicates in there.
In other words, nearly one in twenty ports in the collection. Kudos to
the porters for catching most of them. I wonder how many of them were
caught as a direct result of the change to -current, though ;)

Very true.
