None whatsoever.  However, switching from devel/autoconf -> 
devel/autoconf253 and devel/automake -> devel/automake15 is not as 
trivial as you'd expect, and will require a reasonable amount of effort 
to verify that nothing breaks.

I'm going to let the current new world order of autotools bed down for 
a little bit, then work on that conversion.  In parallel with this, 
ports maintainers etc should be looking to migrate as many ports as 
possible towards {libtool15,autoconf259,automake18}
