Mostly, they just keep working. It'll also be a > pain for multi-platform distributors like Debian, who will have to do > the merge anyway. it's also a pain for people who like to have 1 source tree and switch between targets on the fly with only different configure targets. or for people who want to quickly search all ports for how they handle some feature. i really dont see any upside to this. the proposed rebasing aspect is a complete wash: public git repos should never have their pushed history rebased, and local rebasing of the entire ports tree vs a single arch is exactly the same considering the repo is so small. as for seeing which ports are actually up to date, i dont think that offsets all the other downsides. -mike
