Hi Bjoern,

nothing against this change, except your complain comes a little bit late.

The portstree was already tagged for 9.3 some days ago so this change would be a possible issue for all users using the 9.3 packages.

Before the default version can be changed a full expr. run by portmgr@ is required and all possible issues should be fixed.

Unluckily we have a rolling ports tree (not like RHEL and others where such a change happens during new major releases) so there should be also a time frame to warn users about such a change.

I remember endless discussions about the removal of apache13 after it was already deprecated nearly one year after upstream deprecation ...
