i'm not sure to understand the proposal

i suggest that a port would be allowed to deactivate the old version  
before build the new version, even if there is always a better solution
it would allow to have a workaroud, waiting to find the famous better  
solution, since, anyway, if it is not done automatically, users have  
to do the same manually .... so why prohibit it?

of course, the default should not be changed, and you can disadvise  
it (like for changing compiler, for example)
