>  It is currently expected that ports dependant on this will fully specify the
  shlib version against ports tree convention

I do not understand, where this expectation is coming from. I for one intend to
arrange for my ports to continue using the base-provided library, where
available - based on the OSVERSION - and I encourage other maintainers to do
the same. 

The convention to NOT use explicit major library numbers is there for good
reasons - why should this case be an exception, I do not understand...

That said, thank you, Kyle, for doing the heavy-lifting. This was a lot of
work, done in a short time...
