Comment (by kencu):
Well there is one thing to ponder here -- MacPorts has always valued
security, and uses that as a point of difference when compared to some
other package managers available for macOS. It is important to keep that
reputation.
If it cannot be considered secure, for whatever reason including holding
back versions of software on older systems, then that would be an issue to
be debated on the dev list and possibly a reason to dump all port version
holdbacks if it is felt that is the only way to keep up the current
excellent security reputation. Or at least add notes or warnings
indicating a holdback, etc.
There are already lots of holdbacks in the port tree -- and some of our
core libraries are unfortunately years out of date (which is likely a
bigger problem).
