We'll need to work out if that comes with any change to expectations 
regarding what people update in global changes.  (My presumption would be 
that people would still be expected to identify when a change requires 
corresponding ports changes, but not necessarily to make those changes 
themselves - and if any architecture moves out of the ports subdirectory, 
and so is then expected to be included in future global changes, that 
should only happen if the architecture is believed to be up to date with 
such changes at the time of the move.)
