Well, there is not going to be a lot of breakage. This problem is the only instance I've encountered in the full OpenBSD ports tree.

I thought python was supposed to be a clean language, and didn't shy away from removing stuff/tweaking stuff to achieve that goal ?...

The py-kde4 error was deadly. I'm lucky clang finally caught it, but I'd rather this kind of stuff just not compile.

I think we're in a world where *correctness* is finally beginning to matter a bit more than *compatibility forever whatever the cost*.
