Okay, i am in no way an portmgr or something similiar,
but i feel this is getting a long discussion. Perhaps it is smart to 
backout the change, and let Mike and the portmaintainers generate some 
patches to make sure the ports still work (especially apache which is 
frequently used imho). After that the portmgr's can announce this 
change. Do not get me wrong, i think that it is a good idea, but perhaps 
not at this point in time.

Summary: Backout change and provide updates to the ports, discuss with 
portmgr and let portmgr announce it...
