We have several upcomming stuff which ideally should be coordinated here. The symbol versioning (and the corresponding bump of the version of some libs) results in the need to rebuild everything, and the import of X.org 7.x would result in the need to rebuild some ports (when an user wants to update). I don't know if the import of gcc4 will need a rebuild of everything too. Could all involved people please speak with each other (or tell us you did already) and try to coordinate a little bit?
