	I thought it was obvious that I was not writing about the legacy 
well-known macros, but about the fresh macros introduced by DragonFly, 
which could never have been anticipated by the authors of the existing 
FreeBSD ports.

	I believe that the already introduced new macros must be replaced and 
no new lower-case macros must be introduced.

	Otherwise, with every new user that tries DragonFly, the chances of 
discovering more and more ports broken by such macros is increasing.

	I have found two such ports in my first ten minutes after installing 
DragonFly and I am sure that more will be found if this trend is not 
stopped.

	Best regards !
