I can not remember to have seen something like this in the past 5 years
since I'm a committer or since the last ... maybe 8 or 10 years since I
follow current@ and cvs-all at . And there where a lot of changes which
affected the ports.

And may I remind you that we talk about following POSIX so most of the
programs we have in the ports should be ok?

I agree that it may have been more nice if there was a HEADS-UP first
(the age old behavior changes), and I agree that re@ should have had a
chance to voice their opinion, but after reading all the mails so far I
would say a lot of people are exaggerating.

Andrey, if it helps, here are some virtual hugs from me.

Bye,
Alexander.
