Thank you (for making the ports less boring).

I don't want to participate in any flamewar or conversation about how
freebsd ports in general should work, and I'm sure you know what
you're doing, but as a quick note (for you or anyone), if you use
something like "portmaster" to update your ports, you can use the "-w"
switch to save the old libs in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/ in case of
bump. Really useful to not break your system.

Cheers
