 Replying to [comment:8 mojca@…]:
 > There were only three answers on the
 [https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2016-February/032406.html mailing list]. I gladly do whatever
 consensus we happen to reach, but it would be nice to have somewhat
 consistent rules also for other ports. The number of answers was way
 smaller than expected though.

 for the sake of debugging why one of my ports didn't run properly with
 `python34` after I added a huge patch to introduce compatibility with
 Python 3. And then uninstalled them again.)

 prevent all users from using it. Or would at least like to see some more
 feedback and more consensum from the community.

 I don't think there's much more to say about this other than to make a
 decision one way or the other and close the ticket.  Since these are all
 now contained as subports in perl5 and you're the maintainer, I'm happy to
 go with whatever decision you think is right.
