Is that true?
It's open for interpretation, and I've never interpreted it that way. 
I've seen other use the same rationale (doesn't affect packages with 
default options) as a reason not to bump.

If all things are perfect, I agree with you, but people get pretty upset 
when a port rebuilds for a weak reason.  Making something huge rebuild 
to help out people that customize the port might be "weak" in that sense.

In any case, the above interpretation is news for me.
