My statement was about flipping the USE_FAM default and it is obviously correct: - Nobody checked for ports that depend on fam directly (instead of using USE_FAM). - FAM_SYSTEM_FAM and FAM_SYSTEM_GAMIN use the same dependency file, meaning that on systems that already had fam installed, portupgrade will now register dependencies on gamin without actually installing it, leaving most users and portupgrade confused. - Gamin still only implements a subset of fam's functionality and until that changes should *never* become the default -> POLA. Quite frankly, I think whoever in portmgr approved this change should go to storage, fetch themselves a nice pointy hat from storage and then back out this mess.
