Hi Brad,

I am afraid you are right about this:
> Nice feature but I think you need to keep an eye on versions of deps. I don't know that "port deactivate kde4 && port activate kde3" would revert kde3 deps that may have been upgraded to an unusable version.

since as in my other post entitled "Port can't be deactivated, although deps also deactivated" described I seem to run into first signs of this trap.

Too bad that it is not so easy as I thought. :(
