Can't you simply raise the port's requirement, just like we dropped support for i386 in i386? I think it would be a sensible thing to do if a large protion of the port's user have newer hardware than the oldest that the port supports, but I have no idea whether this is the case. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
