--- Comment #8 from Jean-Sebastien Pedron <dumbbell at FreeBSD.org> ---
My understanding is that PORTREVISION targets Ports users (not packages users).

Without the bug fix, Firefox builds fine; the problem occurs at runtime.
Therefore, without a PORTREVISION bump, someone who built Firefox will see
Firefox crash but no tool will suggest him that the port could be updated. If
PORTREVISION is bumped, the user can notice that an update is available and
rebuild Firefox.

If the problem was a build failure, a PORTREVISION bump would not be necessary
because the port would not build without the fix anyway.
