I wonder if we're anywhere near flipping the default to 8.6 though..


I was thinking of slowly dividing the Tcl/Tk-using ports into 8.5/8.6 by moving ports to 8.6 one at a time.
However, 8.5 was a long time ago.
There'll for sure be some fallout for the much older softwares if the switch is flipped to 8.6, but I think that can be fixed quickly.
If the switch happens soon after the ports tree opens again, there should be plenty of time to smooth everything out.
So  let's do it, why not?
