I noticed a patch for this was committed now, which is fine. Thanks for including me in this, I just did not have much to offer after seeing the other responses come in. > We've noticed some ports (probably less than 100) really depend on > GNU-style inlining.

Another approach would be updating those ports where applicable (some may have newer versions in the tree already?) or deprecating them. In my experience, we carry ports around which nobody seems to use, and nobody definitely cares about them. So, I'd suggest to mail the maintainers of those that have one and see what they'll do about it and deprecate those (un)maintained by po...@. I know that sounds somewhat drastic :-), but I am mostly serious. (There may be some exceptions, but I predict that most of these ports really could go away with hardly anyone noticing.)
