even more difficult.
What effect could the addition of an "else" condition to the platform statement 
have on other ports, whether it's provided through a PortGroup (or similar) or through 
base?
i was talking about a general mechanism, through which a port maintainer can change the behavior of commands on which others depend. I do not see much danger with extending the platform command as discussed.
