I think Philip described the standard very well in the portion of the 
log that is quoted above. Personally, I've never seen or used such a 
comment in any FreeBSD port, and can't imagine any reason why someone 
would want to.

It made the ports tree a little smaller? And personally I think more 
standardization is a good thing in areas that have no material effect on 
the port, or the maintainer's creativity.

This sounds to me like a personality and/or perspective problem, more 
than a technical one. If you'd like to raise a _technical_ issue with 
the commit (as in, something that worked previously no longer does) then 
this list is probably the right one to do that.

If you have a personality or other non-technical issue, perhaps you'd be 
better off raising it privately, or with portmgr at .


FWIW,
