Of Darwinisms

(Yes, I'm on the genuine Darwin list, not the pseudo ones)

Following discussion of Darwin mismatches here upon this very list, I did 
a little test:

davehorsmacbook:~ dave$ port outdated
The following installed ports are outdated:
curl               7.37.1_0 < 7.38.0_0       
curl-ca-bundle     7.37.1_0 < 7.38.0_0       
lynx               2.8.7rel.2_1 < 2.8.8rel.2_0   
p5.16-tk           804.32.0_1 < 804.32.0_1  (platform darwin 10 != darwin 13)  
pango              1.36.6_0 < 1.36.7_0       

So, should I be disturbed that 10 != 13?  I recently* went to Mavericks 
from Snow Leopard (and Mavericks is the cat's meow!).

I held off until I got Time Machine working again; it seems that although 
it was quite happy with my Capsule, when push came to shove it went 
looking for a disk on my nearest WiFI thing, after I'd installed an 
ADSL/WiFi modem/router.  Bizarre, and it cost me a few head-hairs; the 
solution was to tell TM in no uncertain terms that yes, I want to use 
Ethernet, and no, I don't want to use WiFi.
