Agreed.  I was surprised that there was no discussion on this matter at all.
I know we generally had been relaxing "approve required" policies for many
things, and Mk/bsd.*.mk et al. are "owned" by portmgr@, but I don't think
it implies that any portmgr@ member can just come and make controversial
changes like this to his liking.  Lots of people work with these files, and
they should've been asked.
