 > This *is* about end user convenience

 The select mechanism is only meant for use outside of MacPorts (e.g., as a
 convenience to users who compile their own code). A user who only compiles
 via MacPorts should never have to use `port select` for anything.

 So the majority of users would not be able to install `qt5-mac-devel`
 without manual fiddling?

 1. I’d frankly just require a specific version of Clang and be done with
 it. Yes, I know it takes extra time and space.
 1. Can Qt / qmake not be told to use another compiler?
