 Replying to [comment:8 ryandesign]:
 > 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 in many cases without a good reason; or with reasons that were only
 good 20 years ago. So, how is this of any help in discussing specific
 issues?

 > instead of filing more tickets for further substantial changes, you
 write to the macports-dev mailing list to discuss your suggestions.

 But the mailing is a much worse substitute even to this outdated forum
 since:

   - you have a per-issue-page anyone can track (once they find the tiny cc
 button ;))
   - you see the whole discussion thread instead of having to click
 "next/previous" message to follow
   - you have access to the WikiFormatting markup

 > Perhaps there you will get a bigger audience that can explain, for each
 of your suggestions, why things are the way they are.

 And how would that help solve the issue?
