The thought was nothing has really changed from an end-user perspective,
so a bump wasn't necessary.  Plus, we wanted to make sure users had a
chance to read the HEADS UP and CHANGES messages before trying the
upgrade...

...However, things don't always work out that way.  The -gtk2 users were
greeted with a hidden PORTREVISION bump when mozilla-gtk2 was rolled
into mozilla.  This breaks apps like epiphany and galeon2 (I need to
bump their PORTREVISIONs).  Users of the GTK+-1.2 version of Mozilla
should be okay for now, though.  They can switch to -gtk1 at their
leisure.
