Really?? I guess you are speaking for bind, because the idea behind updating and piece of software is precisely shaking bugs. New functionality counts but fixing bugs takes the priority. We have three serious bug reports concerning GNU sort and I even submitted an update but no one cared to apply it. I would think only the maintainer of the package has the authority to make any request in the lines of being bug-for-bug compatible and in the case of GNU sort and GNU grep they are both unmaintained and replacements are welcome. Please let's stop being an obstacle towards people bringing real progress to FreeBSD!
