I agree with these sentiments. >I'm sort of surprised that more people have not spoken up about this. Well, I found out about it when my nightly "make index" produced a shower of errors. I found the relevant commit, worked out how to clean up and moved on. I didn't speak up because I didn't think it would help by then. portmaster made this mostly painless (though I'm not sure if going from 5.10 to 5.14 has broken any of my scripts). -- Peter Jeremy
