Sure, and I'm just trying to explain why I think the bump is not needed in
this case and hopefully make you agree on this :) Basically I was trying to
stick with this part of Porter's Handbook:
A rule of thumb is to ask yourself whether a change committed to a port is
something which everyone would benefit from having (either because of an
enhancement, fix, or by virtue that the new package will actually work at
all), and weigh that against that fact that it will cause everyone who
regularly updates their ports tree to be compelled to update. If yes, the
PORTREVISION should be bumped.
And I did not think that this change is compelling enough to cause everyone to
update this ports.
