This discussion has led me to check what mc version I'm using (linux,
unrelated) and to my surprise it turned out I upgraded nearly half a
year ago to 4.7.0. And yes I'm actively using it and no I haven't
noticed any regressions in my usual workflow.

If it is possible to distribute 4.6-like keybindings with the new
version I would even suggest importing it as sysutils/mc, but
sysutils/mc-470 shouldn't really bother anyone at all.


Just my two (euro)cents...
