How about to explain the benefits of this?

Speaking only for myself ...

1. Standardization is a good thing since so much stuff is copy/pasted

Could you please describe standards and vote before doing anything.  Thank you.

I think Philip described the standard very well in the portion of the log that is quoted above. Personally, I've never seen or used such a comment in any FreeBSD port, and can't imagine any reason why someone would want to.

2. The comments that were removed added no value, so

This commit also have no additional value too.  Thank you again.

It made the ports tree a little smaller? And personally I think more standardization is a good thing in areas that have no material effect on the port, or the maintainer's creativity.

3. There was no harm in removing them.

Philip may have additional/better answers.
Do you have a specific concern about them being removed, or were you
just curious?

I'm totally disagree with Philip mass-commits as well as implicit approval from 
portmgrs.

This sounds to me like a personality and/or perspective problem, more than a technical one. If you'd like to raise a _technical_ issue with the commit (as in, something that worked previously no longer does) then this list is probably the right one to do that.

If you have a personality or other non-technical issue, perhaps you'd be better off raising it privately, or with port...@.


FWIW,

Doug
