If we're not going to fiddle with auto* so close to a release date, we
certainly are not going to fiddle with the whole ports infrastructure
that affects even more ports, especially not for a workaround that only
affects CURRENT users. Ports on CURRENT is only provided on a best
effort basis and its users are expected to be techically savvy enough to
work around these kinds of issues themselves.
We can always use more eyes on 9.0-BETA3 and as HEAD hasn't diverged
that much, it would be nice if people installed the beta and reported
any bugs found there.
