sorry for asking more details.. but why should it be risky on 10.4 or 10.5?

First, I'd expect reclaim to remove:
- installed stuff that is older than the latest installed release (inactive)
- active stuff, but which was pulled in by otehr packages now removed

of course without buildbot it is more inconvenient to reinstall 
something, but why should it happen?
I everything stays to current, removing something old shouldn't even 
require arebuild!

I had a blink light when I saw it wanted to remove soemthing I 
specifically installed was up to latest version!

PS: in case, can I reclaim manually certain inactive ports?
