All too often they are not in fact "simple".
I do, in fact, consider it that way, and I need some way of telling people they should feel free to do simple version updates my ports without asking me. I'd suggest that if you don't want that to be possible, maybe you don't want openmaintainer on your ports? Or maybe, even better, we need some way of indicating various gradations of policy? -- Perry E. Metzger pmetz...@macports.org
