New description:

 I cannot make the base to pick correct compilers now via blacklist for
 `folly`. What I need is `clang-15` or later and not `clang-11`.

 The port currently has:
 {{{
 compiler.cxx_standard   2017
 compiler.blacklist-append {clang < 1100}
 compiler.blacklist-append {macports-clang-[5-9].0}
 compiler.blacklist-append macports-gcc-12
 }}}

 On 10.6.8 I get in result:
 {{{
 10:MacPorts-2.9.0 svacchanda$ port deps folly
 Full Name: folly @2024.01.22.00_0
 Build Dependencies:   cmake, ninja, clang-11, pkgconfig
 Library Dependencies: bzip2, double-conversion, gflags, google-glog,
 libevent,
                       libsodium, libunwind, lz4, lzma, snappy, xz, zlib,
 zstd,
                       libfmt10, libcxx, boost181, openssl3, legacy-
 support,
                       macports-libcxx
 }}}

 I thought C++17 will pick a newer clang, but anyway, `clang-11` cannot
 built it, so I try adding:
 {{{
 compiler.blacklist-append {macports-clang-[5-9].0} macports-clang-10
 macports-clang-11
 }}}

 And nothing, it still wants `clang-11`:
 {{{
 10:MacPorts-2.9.0 svacchanda$ port deps folly
 Warning: All compilers are either blacklisted or unavailable; defaulting
 to first fallback option
 Full Name: folly @2024.01.22.00_0
 Build Dependencies:   cmake, ninja, clang-11, pkgconfig
 Library Dependencies: bzip2, double-conversion, gflags, google-glog,
 libevent,
                       libsodium, libunwind, lz4, lzma, snappy, xz, zlib,
 zstd,
                       libfmt10, libcxx, boost181, openssl3, legacy-
 support,
                       macports-libcxx
 }}}

 Only `compiler.whitelist macports-clang-16` works:
 {{{
 10:MacPorts-2.9.0 svacchanda$ port deps folly
 Full Name: folly @2024.01.22.00_0
 Build Dependencies:   cmake, ninja, clang-16, pkgconfig
 Library Dependencies: bzip2, double-conversion, gflags, google-glog,
 libevent,
                       libsodium, libunwind, lz4, lzma, snappy, xz, zlib,
 zstd,
                       libfmt10, libcxx, boost181, openssl3, legacy-
 support,
                       macports-libcxx
 }}}

 There is no overriding `compiler.blacklist` in the portfile, everything is
 appended.
