An observant maintainer would notice the change and learn from it  
(isn't revision control great?).

I think sweeps across all ports to implement global policy best  
serves the interest of the users of MacPorts.  I think it's best to  
view maintainers as the primary contributors to a port, and not  
owners with veto power.  I'm speaking as the maintainer of a few  
ports myself, who doesn't have enough time to keep abreast of all the  
latest and greatest MacPorts directions.
