Could you perhaps explain the rationale behind pcre -> re2 (never heard
of it before) change?  I mean, lots of ports depend on devel/pcre, which
seems to be de-facto regex library, and having two similar (well, that's
maybe an underestimation) libraries installed in a system without some
sufficiently strong reason seems at least questionable.  (Unless, of
course, this port deliberately requires re2 and cannot be built against
pcre or easily converted.)

Thanks.
