 * Yes, Marc Fournier <scrappy@FreeBSD.org> implemented both sides of this
 * change (the Makefiles / the cgi parse).
 * 
 * One day, I should go and update my ports to include the WWW_SITE stuff.
 * Honestly, like what I'm hearing from you guys I was reluctant to touch it
 * because I hadn't heard anything official.

Well, I was holding off saying anything in public in fear of
embarrassing scrappy but I'm afraid can't wait any longer.

These changes were not approved.  We have been putting homepages in
pkg/DESCR for years.  I don't see any need in adding yet another knob
to an already solved problem (which unsolves part of it...for
instance, how is the package user supposed to see it?).

I told scrappy to back them out a few weeks ago, he said he will, but
has been "too busy" and that's why they are still there.
