Comment (by ShadSterling):

 As a user, I don't really want to learn all the details about how variants
 are defined, and I don't mind that I can't install incompatible variants,
 I just don't think variants should have any effect on cleaning.

 What does it even mean to specify variants for cleaning?  Even if variants
 do affect cleaning, the port is installed (with a working set of
 variants), so why does `clean installed` seem to override the installed
 variants to fail?  Especially when `clean all` somehow picks variants that
 work?

 I don't doubt the reasons would be obvious after taking a week to learn
 how it all works, but as a user it seems like there's something
 fundamentally incoherent about how variants and/or cleaning works
