In going through the depend list, and grepping the tree it looks to me 
like there are @20 ports affected, one of which is marked broken for 
other reasons and two which are mine. Unless there's ports which 
aren't already flagged, I don't see any serious breakage happening.

Alexander mentioned to check for linux errors. dyeske has been stress 
testing skype and there are none. So what's next? Maybe a heads-up on 
ports@ and I'm willing to ping the individual maintainers and track 
any breakage.

BTW, I posted a list of dependent ports on my wiki:
