I agree for you, as an end user. The thing is that both you and the
package cluster uses the same indicator to decide if you should rebuild
the package. So I guess a maintainer could also say, "Hey I fixed that
typo, but why is every 'pkg_add -r' user still reporting it to me?".
Yeah, I now have a better understanding of the reasons behind this. I
can see the advantage of triggering a build on the package cluster. On
my systems I compile all the ports I install, so I wasn't thinking about
the builds for packages.
