I guess it makes it a bit easier to convert the port to rhythmbox when 
0.12.0 is released, but I never really considered it that closely. 
There have been a few such examples (especially with GNOME ports) where 
we've kept PKGNAME untouched to keep in sync with the actual dist names.

I understand your point, but it's not that difficult to see this with 
pkg_info -o.
