Oops, haha, I remember looking at it and also thinking what you just said. Sorry for the noise. Alfred, there actually is a port databases/p5-DBD-mysql which is the only one that ports should depend on (I had this conversation with Alex Dupre IIRC, the maintainer of mysql). I'll do a quick scan for ports depending on the versioned ports and get PRs in.
