Hi Bjoern,
nothing against this change, except your complain comes a little bit late.
The portstree was already tagged for 9.3 some days ago so this change would=
be a possible issue for all users using the 9.3 packages.
Before the default version can be changed a full expr. run by portmgr@ is r=
equired and all possible issues should be fixed.
Unluckily we have a rolling ports tree (not like RHEL and others where such=
a change happens during new major releases) so there should be also a time=
frame to warn users about such a change.
I remember endless discussions about the removal of apache13 after it was a=
lready deprecated nearly one year after upstream deprecation ...
