Comment (by jonesc@…):

 Sorry, but no. That just a lot of effort to do the same thing via a
 different command. If it is forbidden, and personnally i don't see the
 problem, then fine we just remove it, period. Users either then have to
 use the versioned binaries directly, or run port select themselves. But
 first i would want to see the reasoned argument why it should be removed.
