Comment (by herbygillot):

 Most users are interested in remaining end users, looking for MacPorts to
 simply be the vehicle for installing software they're interested in, as an
 alternative to others such Homebrew.  They want MacPorts to just be a tool
 in their toolbox that they can just use and put away when they need to
 install software, and not something they have to spend a lot of time on.

 Though there are a lot of benefits to having users become familiar with
 Portfile development, that's actually quite a leap for your average casual
 user who only cares purely about simply and easily installing the software
 they want.

 I personally think that it's a reasonable expectation to make some subset
 of MPlayer's myriad features available as variants.

 Having to maintain a cadre of local custom Portfiles is a pain, especially
 as the ports repo gets updated over time, and though it may not feel like
 it to an experienced maintainer, it's an intermediate-sized cliff to learn
 what's necessary to get a local ports environment set up and learn
 everything required to create and modify Portfiles/ports.  An experience
 like that only serves to increase friction and make MacPorts more
 unattractive in the face of simpler alternatives that provide the kind of
 customization the user wants while remaining dead-simple to use.
