For example that thousands[1] of users will be forced to
rebuild/reinstall the exact same package (devel/py-wheel)? And that for
what? Because portmgr@ has a script that cannot recognize that there has
never been a package with a higher version available, and so it
continues to send "spam" emails to you/us?

[1] Because FreeBSD has thousands of users, right?

NB: I noticed a 0.46.1 is released in the meantime.
https://github.com/pypa/wheel/releases/tag/0.46.1

Could the port be updated to that version?
It would also resolve the version going backwards issue.

Regards,
Ronald.
