Repeating that several times does not make it true.

I'm trying to point out, that this commit (and previous pkgng ones) was made
without proper peer review and consulations, which is a recommended practice
in THIS project.  Doing so hurts not only the committer reputation (which I
frankly do not care about), but the project image as a whole.

I really don't want to go in and revert these changes, but I want to find a
reasonable solution.  It's not the first time an unreviewed ports-related
change is being committed to a tree by that hurts us, who actually use FreeBSD
and not consider it a personal playground.
