Comment (by mojca@…):

 Replying to [comment:6 devans@…]:
 > In addition, in r143602, I've incremented the revision on all the ports
 that use the perl5 port group to create variants since they will all now
 use +perl5_22 as the default variant instead of +perl5_16.

 What I don't understand is the following:
   * if users have `foo +perl5_16` installed, they won't get `foo
 +perl5_22` with an upgrade until we actually remove the `perl5_16` variant
 (but they will have to rebuild the port for no benefit)
   * buildbots will build the binaries (which is nice)
 Wouldn't it be better to just touch those ports or force-build them on the
 buildbots?
