 Ryan often built all ports (maybe in batches?). I'm not sure how exactly
 he did it. Maybe he came up with a list of all ports (or a list of
 directories) and split it in parts. Or at least I believe he did that on
 the old buildbot where this was less problematic. I don't think we ever
 did it on the new infrastructure so far, I'm only aware of
 [https://lists.macports.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2016-September/033693.html this build of python modules] plus some
 hand-picked list of ports to make life on 10.5, 10.7 and 10.12 easier.

 Also note that manual interventions are pretty rare and not many
 developers really care about forcing builds, I wouldn't worry about
 problems here.
