Thanks for the clarification, I think you are kind of right. But it will
always hit someone not affected by the update. For example, changing
depends_* inside some variants and incrementing the revsion forces all
users to recompile - even if they don't use this variant...
As an additional comment, I don't think port lint is yet stable enough
to be used as a commit filter (rejecting commits not passing port lint).
