Yeah, it is perhaps a similar situation to R and OCaml ports.

(I understand that once some of those “family” ports is itself updated, revision should be reset back to zero, but when there are hundreds of those ports, it is easier to revbump all of those first and then disable that PG option upon a given port update, rather than adding `incr revision` to every portfile).
