Indeed, and don't think that hadn't occurred to me. In fact I suspected
that portmgr@ was feeling a bit overwhelmed, and that *that* triggered
the seemingly overreaching python announcement.
May I humbly request a petition for such large-sweeping changes? IMHO
this will give portmgr@ the opportunity to get caught up, and perhaps
get some assistance -- maybe we all come up with an idea that saves
_everyones_ bacon. :-)


Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
