Look, we're obviously not going to convince each other with this
discussion.  I'm sorry I caused you much trouble by adding it without
working it with you first, but I believe the current state is workable 
for both of us.  Can we leave it as it is?

 * 2. Your INDEX files can frequently be out of date with the ports
 *    collection and someone should be able to do their own "make index"
 *    when that happens.

There is a "chopindex" script in ports/Tools/portbuild/scripts that
anyone can use to clean up the index file (remove extra dependencies,
lines for non-existent packages, etc.).

 *    packages and that is simply not [yet] the case.  The INDEX file
 *    certainly isn't for the ports - they already get the dependency
 *    information out of the Makefiles - it's for the packages and for
 *    rudimentary search features.

It is for all of them, as well as things like the ports web page.  The
one I commit is simply one with most information -- you can derive the
package index from this one, but not the other way around.

 * To put it another way, consider me as Bruce and this as a really
 * egregious style(9) bug on your part.  You can argue about it forever,
 * but it won't make you any less wrong in the end. :)

If you want to declare yourself Bruce, go ahead.  Then I'm going to
take your advice about Bruce-filters and take note to your opinion but
respectfully stand by my decision, thank you very much. :)
