Comment (by artkiver):

 Thanks for sharing your perspective!

 I should have remembered the conflicts option, since libressl and
 libressl-devel make use of that!

 Though that begs the question, if the two ports conflict and do no co-
 exist, presumably that would cause issues for db migrations as well?

 As I wrote in the last comment in the PR I submitted, I may be
 overthinking this since Howard made mention of such things I thought it
 was worth trying to get more perspective.

 The InstallingOlderPort may suffice for users potentially impacted; though
 I am guessing if there are things downstream which may encounter issues,
 they will probably have to address that in a more involved manner than I
 can attempt to resolve proactively?

 LMDB seems to have more installed users via mpstats output than anything
 else on which I am listed as a maintainer and I am guessing it may be
 embedded as a dependency in other projects to varying degrees, so I have
 been somewhat apprehensive, though perhaps unnecessarily so!

 If you think it wise to raise these concerns on the macports-dev mailing
 list, I will do so. My apologies for misuse of Trac; I had been hoping to
 get some other perspectives via IRC though I am not logged into that with
 much frequency, and I guess I made a bad judgement call as far as Trac
 being less formal than the mailing list.
