It's a bootstrap change which is one of the most critical parts of pkgsrc, and affects all platforms, many of which will only find bugs when someone explicitly runs bootstrap. I never push changes there, certainly none as large as this, without a significant amount of thinking, testing, and reviews.
However everything I tried seemed to suggest that "e01dc9b4" was not actually on the trunk branch
Due to forced pushes since I wrote those patches I couldn't compare against trunk, so picked the baseline commit on that branch. At some point I'll rebase it against trunk and add it to my list of branches that get automatically rebased by github so it stays up to date, but it's very low down my priority list right now.
