Comment (by ryandesign):

 You're new here—you filed your first MacPorts ticket (and joined GitHub) 3
 days ago. MacPorts has existed for 20 years and so there is a long history
 to explain why MacPorts works the way it does, in many cases with good
 reason, and for many of the suggestions you've casually made in this and
 other tickets, there would be substantial effort to make the changes you
 suggest, with significant consequences. I recommend instead of filing more
 tickets for further substantial changes, you write to the macports-dev
 mailing list to discuss your suggestions. Perhaps there you will get a
 bigger audience that can explain, for each of your suggestions, why things
 are the way they are.
