 > I don't feel that there is any reason why a standard library like
 libiconv, where we do indeed want all ports that use libiconv to use the
 MacPorts one, should be moved to a nonstandard location which would
 require extra effort in all of the ports that use it to continue to use
 it.

 The idea would be that no ports find a need to ever use it, and we just
 dump it in the end as a big pain we no longer need…

 libiconv is an unusually troublesome PITA. If they at least made the
 incompatible libraries (system vs macports) have different names the wrong
 one wouldn’t keep getting linked in.

 But no, some joker upstream decided we’d all have to live with this silly
 mess forever.
