thanks for doing this!

It is the kind of laborsome, while not exactly glamorous change,
that has more change to get you some complaint (some cornercase
changing, for example) than anything else.  

Yet it is important to keep the Ports Collection resilient and
easier to maintain.

Kudos!  (And kudos to others having made similar changes the last
twelve months.)
