I'm running exclusively on -current. In the cases where this happens,  
there are no compat packages yet. And I rather update the ports than  
to install a compat package. It doesn't hurt me to keep the libs  
during the pkg rebuild.

In the generic case I prefer to stay safe and keep the libs until I  
validated that nothing uses them anymore. That's the reason why I made  
the delete-old-libs functionality separate from delete-old already in  
the initial implementation.

Bye,
Alexander.
