Comment (by chrstphrchvz):

 My guess is that portgroup version increases have usually only been done
 after major rewrites which essentially deprecate the old portgroup. But
 portgroup default option changes and even major rewrites have been done
 before with no version increase, and seemingly no portgroup has gone
 beyond version 1.1.

 I think it is better to not introduce another portgroup, especially if it
 is mostly the same as an existing one, just to avoid there being changes
 made to one which should instead be made to both.

 If I have counted correctly, the github 1.0 portgroup is used 3393 times.
 And for `github.tarball_from`, `archive` is used 1278 times, `releases`
 428 times, and `downloads` 11 times. So presumably `github.tarball_from
 tarball` is used (implicitly or explicitly) 1676 times.
