You then pressurised new Maintainer to fix quick or delete,
despite several of us told you in use working fine for ages.

Chris Rees, you are butchering ports/ You were give a commit bit
11th June 2011.  http://www.freebsd.org/news/newsflash.html

Its time that commit bit was revoked to protect ports/ along with
perhaps 3 other misguided butchers' commit bits, perhaps one of
whom might have been your commit mentor.

Cheers,
Julian
