(I restored my full quote above which I believe says this, though IANAL.) I don't see any option that means "this version and no other version". Is that your interpretation as well? And do we really need to distinguish between those cases in the portfiles? If so, I have to review all my portfiles, and other maintainers who were not aware of the distinction would have to also.
