5180 ↗	(On Diff #15650)	Shouldn't this be USE_BDB?
5181 ↗	(On Diff #15650)	The meaning of "in favor of" is unclear in this and the next sections. How about: Obsolete. Replaced by Using the link there is exactly right, makes it easy for the reader to find what they need. Nice!

145 ↗	(On Diff #15650)	Should be <application> tags instead of literal.
152 ↗	(On Diff #15650)	Passive->active: s/will find/finds/
153 ↗	(On Diff #15650)	s/fall/falls/
155 ↗	(On Diff #15650)	"can be used...cannot be used" is a little confusing. Maybe "...to specify a version which does not work with this port." Or, if INVALID_BDB_VER can accept a range of values, "...to specify versions which do not work with this port."

221 ↗	(On Diff #15650)	If it is unsupported, how come there are ports that still use it? Maybe don't mention the bitcoin ports, particularly if work is going on to replace their use of db48.
1542 ↗	(On Diff #15650)	Nice!

5180 ↗	(On Diff #15650)	Ah, yes.
en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/uses/chapter.xml
221 ↗	(On Diff #15650)	The bitcoin ports are going to continue using it for a long time, their implementation depend on artefacts of 4.8 and they can't move to 5 or 6 (or whatever version will come after) I'll remove the bit about bitcoins.
