I'm not so sure -- I often hear complains from Kris about commits in
/usr/src that break ports.  It seems implied reponsabilty on the /usr/src
committer to go help fix the ports.

I've seen bsd.port.mk changes held back that broke less ports than this
change, simply because the change caused any breakage.
