Don't we have a better way of dealing with port name changes (or similar
issues)? This change creates two conflicting ports, if one of the
dependents is not updated, it will mean some ports (potentially half of
the ports related to X) won't be installable. 

Isn't it possible to update render to a pseudo newer version that has no
file but depends on xorg-renderproto? Or else to have some kind of
"superseding" mechanism?

Best,

Emmanuel
