We’re undoubtedly heading into a turbulence zone. Because not all of us will have early access to the new hardware (I won’t personally, and happen to have ordered the latest MacBook Air with an i7 CPU a few days ago…), it means that those who will will probably have to bear the burden of testing a lot of ports and reporting errors, while the maintainers won’t have the ability to test the fixes.

Wouldn’t it be possible to somehow set up a new hardware machine with MacPorts installed and give all maintainers the possibility to log into it and test their ports?
