Which I have. Package is in our proposed pocket now awaiting migration. I've 
also been preparing a Stable Release Update for it.

Regarding "breaking existing scripts", the naysayer in question has been known 
to use outdated methods (refers to ideas stemming back to 2008, so 16 years 
ago and only recently came back after a 10 year hiatus), so rather than break 
people's ability to use hardware, certain people should be more flexible and 
adapt their scripts to use newer methods.

  It's been described in various places:

  Could you please include this in the packages? It basically boils down to this four letter change in port.c:
