Comment:

 Surely breaks some ports? Funny, haven't noticed that. But I have noticed
 the changeset associated with this ticket surely breaks my macports
 installation.

 Please, don't be a nanny to the users. Document a potential issue with a
 port, or patch the port to fix it, but don't break the macports
 installation for everyone that installed into /usr/local and is now faced
 with a COMPLETE reinstall or manually undoing your broken 'patch' on every
 update.
