I'm maintainer of gnuplot which still has no_x11 variant. I wasn't
aware of that deprecation until I read this email. Should I remove the
option no_x11, add the option x11 instead, and add x11 to
default_variants?

How exactly does the transition have to be done in order not to
confuse users updating the port? For example, if user currently has
the default variant installed (without no_x11 flag), whould he loose
x11 support during port upgrade? If yes, is there any way to prevent
this?

Thank you very much,
