Comment (by kencu):

 Moving ports forward while trying to maintain support for older systems
 can be challenging...

 I think our benchmark has to be moving ports forward. Otherwise, MacPorts
 becomes irrelevant. Testing on what the CI system supports is really all
 we can ask maintainers to do.

 If such an update breaks older systems, which inevitably will happen, then
 those of us with those systems and with interest can rally and either fix
 them, fix legacysupport, or help provide a build or binary fallback
 implementation.

 But I think we can't put too much weight on older systems support to the
 point where we lose maintainers or maintainer's interest because they are
 afraid their update will break older system they can't test on and don't
 care about...we'll lose everyone, eventually.

 Some of the really core ports have "devel" versions as you know, to give
 people a heads-up about wreckage that is coming. If interested people
 don't pay attention and don't try to fix these devel ports when errors
 show up, well, caveat emptor, really
