Wrong phrasing at my side. That should be:
Yes, if you use non-default linux base port and upgrade any linux
application using linux-scim-libs you should upgrade to new
infrastructure ports.

Besides, I've got a patch which may help with linux-scim-libs case.
the patch should be applied at /usr/ports/Mk directory.
