 > I would like to request removal of subports that are not supported on a
 particular OS. Not that this is a problem in practice (not sure why users
 would intentionally try to install an unsupported dependency)

 I was slightly wrong here. Unsupported variants (or subports for that
 matter) are also a problem for users who upgrade. This was a problem for
 `ld64_latest +llvm33` or `+llvm34` that triggered errors. It's probably
 not a problem in this specific case, but I still believe that it would be
 nice to only list and allow supported variants and subports.
