Default fortran changed to +gcc8

[Mark Brethen]

I followed the note below after a selfupdate:

NOTE: Default fortran changed to +gcc8; consider switching variants to enable
pre-built packages for mpich-default by running:
  "sudo port clean mpich-default && sudo port upgrade mpich-default +gcc8-gcc<N>” (should be ggc7)

However it resulted in:

Warning: Skipping upgrade since mpich-default 3.2.1_5 >= mpich-default 3.2.1_5, even though installed variants "+gcc7" do not match "+gcc8". Use 'upgrade --enforce-variants' to switch to the requested variants.

You can always run 'port rev-upgrade' again to fix errors.
The following ports will be rebuilt:
 py36-tables @3.4.4
 octave @4.4.1+accelerate+app+docs+gfortran+graphicsmagick+qt5+sound+sundials
Continue? [Y/n]: 

an hour later it finished rebuilding those ports. 

should I now issue port 'rev-upgrade' or 'upgrade --enforce-variants’ to rebuild mpich-default with gcc8?
