Ade's point is that even though we are out of the ports-freeze ..
there's is still a "slush-phase" going on where large sweeping changes
are not allowed ... (hence why gnome-2.12 hasn't been imported yet).

changing a port with 726 direct consumers, at least in my opinion, falls
under the large sweeping change category, regardless how minute the
nature of the actual change may be.
