I seem to have phrased my mail a bit weird. There's no intention of "pulling
the trigger", say tomorrow and pull the rug from under users' and
maintainers' feet. Of course we would like to do things gradually so to hurt
users and maintainers the least as possible. The mail was meant to indicate
the general direction of where we would like to go with X.org ports as far as
PREFIX is concerned, to prompt people to voice their
disagreements/agreements, and to find out how we can do it so as to cause as
little pain as possible. It should certainly not be viewed as "we plan to
import X.org 7 into ports next week and make /usr/local default prefix so
deal with it". If it sounded like that I do apologize.
Yes, probably "Merging X11BASE to LOCALBASE" is not very good subject
after all, seemingly what you are talking about is merely moving x.org
7.x bits and pieces from X11BASE into LOCALBASE, which should be fine.
:) You should have mentioned that merging those two is a long term goal
and it's not going to happen overnight, since that's what my first
impression from the thread was.
