I meant to finish off this paragraph by noting that there was the port
ordering change (which affects all output formats -- interactive,
grepable, and XML) in 4.10.  But I wouldn't expect this to affect your
scripts much.  Or does it?

In any case, I'm glad to see that Marek has posted a patch which
returns the old behavior.  We'll see how people respond to the issue
and decide which way to have it for the next release.

Cheers,
