Comment (by RJVB):

 You can disagree all you like with PRs being "about the worst patch review
 mechanisms ''I've seen''" if you think that means anything without
 actually having looked through my eyes ...

 > Note that I happen to loathe Git (compared to things like Mercurial it's
 much less nice)

 IIRC Mercurial is even slower and/or has an even larger footprint on disk,
 or maybe that was bazaar.

 Also note that I have often toyed with the idea of creating a true fork of
 the ports tree that contains my ports and portgroups. In practice I don't
 want to have to maintain one or more copies of that huge ports repo (in
 addition to spending my time applying each and every update), so I have
 stuck with my macstrop tree with instructions how to "install" it.

 > we're kind of stuck with the world we have rather than the one we wished
 we lived in.

 Indeed, good thing I'm never in a hurry O:-)
 (and sadly the co-maintainer I used to have who took care of commits and
 PRs is no longer stuck in this world).
