Sorry, but I'm on Timur's side here: portrevs bumps are IMHO being abused
way too often for little to no benefit. I'm wasting huge deal of CPU cycles
for countless rebuilding of perfectly fine packages just because folks tend
to bump revs on even teeniest changes.
FWIW, having both "not a judgement call" and "important enough" in the same
sensence looks like oxymoron to me.
