When using poudriere, you do not need to bump PORTREVISION, it will
rebuild everything that needs rebuilding, and then, when you run pkg
upgrade, pkg will force the reinstallation of packages because a
dependencing shlib version was changed.

Like I said, the problem is only with portmaster and portupgrade, not
all our tools. I have used poudriere + pkg upgrade exclusively for 3+
years, and never had a problem shlib version changes.
