Wow that is nice, and very respectful of others work, given that the perl case
has a reason to be (able to properly handle updates in binary only world) plus
it was exp-run, and there is a load a explaindd way to upgrade: see UPDATING,
users were informed via mails, plus updating.

On the other hand this commit we all want to see in, breaks a lots of ports with
no documented way to recover, no testing on side effects etc, That is the
concern bryan is trying to explain, a simple exp-run would have cost 18h hours
and we would have been able to at least warn the users.

We want working packagss on HEAD but we don't want the pay the price of it aka,
testing changes against ports before committing, with poudriere it is now very
even on self hardware to do such tests.
