Comment (by chilli.namesake@…):

 >> Because providing support...

 That was part of my point... no support for what isn't supported, that's
 fine, and understood. Devs are not God, just god-like ;-) But there's no
 need to break something that works— even if it works gimpy. That's putting
 in contol when control is unncessary, and breaks the "free" part of the
 description of the software: "you are free to use this however you wish,
 as long as you wish to use it the way we want you to."

 >> Users perceive build failures as bugs reported to us... wastes
 everyone's time.

 Yes, users do waste everyone's time, whether they are reporting bugs or
 not. Perhaps this is the easiest way to manage that.

 >> Thanks for letting us know...

 Where there is a will, there is a way... I'm just glad it works.

 I considered my issue closed after the first comment... I had forgotten
 that and was reminded, and I'm not really arguing to specifically change
 anything anymore (other than your deep philosophies on free software). Or
 then I just started babbling... apologies.

 Thanks for the replies, explanations.
 Thanks, all, for the work you do on MacPorts... LOVE IT.
