the set of installed files.
This means for example that adding comments, moving around a block of
code in portfile, editing homepage's value or moving from plain
portfile to a portgroup to thin the portfile all fall into the
definition of minor change; whereas adding a xinstall line, or
updating version don't since the set of installed files is being
altered.


I'd like to hear from the list, or PortMgr, if this definition is good
to be accepted as official.

About the topic discussed at [1] I think many of the proposed points
fall into minor changes.
What would  would streamline the update of ports would be declaring
all ports openmaintainer unless so specified, thus inverting current
usage.
We could drop the use of openmaintainer and state an explicit (and
rare) closedmaintainer for delicate ports on which maintainers
want/need to have a strict control.
