 There are a number of enhancements which would improve MacPorts, but time is finite and the project is perpetually in need of more base-level developers.  This means that new features must be prioritized (bugs usually being more important) and other, useful features don't get implemented for some time.  See [http://guide.macports.org/#project.contributing the guide entry on contributing] for how to get involved if you'd like to help improve MacPorts.
 
-=== How should I report MacPorts issues specific to prerelease versions of macOS or Xcode? === #prerelease
-
-Please do not discuss beta, preview or prerelease versions of macOS or Xcode in public MacPorts communication channels, including on the mailing lists, in tickets, or on IRC. You signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Apple to gain access to the prerelease Apple software, which means you should not disclose information about it publicly. If the bug seems to be in prerelease Apple software, [https://feedbackassistant.apple.com report it to Apple]. Otherwise, privately notify a MacPorts developer who is disclosed on the prerelease Apple software, including:

Apple made these materials available to you subject to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) which means you should not disclose information about them publicly, and we believe build logs, error messages, and screenshots are included in that set of information.
