To make the update more substantial, try to combine this change with something else if possible, like a version update or fixing some outstanding bug in the port. If there aren't any other  changes that could be made now, then go ahead and commit just this fix with the revbump; better to fix the bug than not to.

True, part of the complaint was build time, which is now reduced for those who can use the binary packages. But not everyone can. And for those who can, the new complaint could just as easily be time to download the binary package. :/
