When preparing this change I discussed the possibility of doing a bump
with various people, and the consensus was not to do it. set_rcvar() was
only (and only ever should be) removed from 10-current. Thus the change
was a no-op in all the supported branches. As Chris pointed out bumping
would have caused over 800 packages to be rebuilt, as well as users
having to rebuild their local ports for no reason.

Instead, I put a note in UPDATING and sent a HEADS UP message to the
-current list.


Sorry you were inconvenienced,
