dependency explosions

[Graham Menhennitt]

Thanks for that, olli.

I didn't understand how I'd missed the fact that Dovecot now included 
Cyrus. So I had a look at /usr/ports/UPDATING. Searching for Dovecot 
shows a mention of it in the entry at 20160228. However, that's entitled 
"AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix", and I don't use Postfix. I think that 
Dovecot should have its own entry in UPDATING for that change too.
