Now that we are on a faster upgrade policy for minor branches, it is expected that we'll upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1 to 11.2 much faster than in the old days. I can cope with that, but it appears that functional changes are also being made within the stable branch as seen here:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221672 A new fdatasync() method is available in 11.1 but not in 11.0 which means that I now need to maintain separate ports trees for each minor update. I've never done this before, assuming (correctly for me until now) that all ports build on the latest minor release within the stable branch would work on older releases until I was ready to upgrade them. Is this instance a mistake or am I misunderstanding the new policy? If I need to treat each release within the stable branch as a whole new platform for ports, that means a bunch of extra testing and maintenance work for me.
