 Replying to [comment:96 kencu]:
 > in the meantime, the /opt/bootstrap workaround above continues to work
 very well for those who use it, on all systems that show ssl issues, with
 zero changes in any portfiles or macports. So that is what I recommend.

 If the question is merely “If some users want this feature, there is a way
 to make it”, then yes, sure.
 But ''if Macports developers are interested'' to get more accurate
 statistics, then such solution is suboptimal, to say the least.
 Realistically speaking, pretty much no one gonna go that route, which we
 see from data collected. Then developers get a false impression that no
 one installs software, and support gets dropped. In the long run, everyone
 is worse off.
