Comment (by neverpanic):

 Replying to [comment:6 barracuda156]:
 > I do not really see how everything is supposed to work, if every
 maintainer sets his own arbitrary support policy, given that ports depend
 on each other.

 MacPorts actually has a policy to only support the few most recent
 versions of macOS — everything else on top is up to the maintainers. We've
 kept base working down to very old versions, but that was just done to
 enable others to make a ports tree that works for them on those operating
 systems, never with an intention to actually officially support these old
 versions. Sure, they may have mostly worked fine in practice, but that has
 never been guaranteed.

 You don't have to trust my word on that, of course. Bring it up on the
 mailing list if you like, and I'm sure others can corroborate what I've
 said, and maybe even point to where this is documented (possibly one some
 mailing list post, or maybe it's there somewhere in the guide, I didn't
 really check).

 > And there is a difference between saying “sorry, I have no time to fix
 that” and issuing instructions on which OS somebody else must use and
 closing this as wontfix (you won’t, someone else may; affected systems are
 officially supported by MacPorts, at least at the moment).

 The ticket is assigned to me, I'm the maintainer for the port. I like to
 think it's my responsibility to process tickets for it. I'm not a fan of
 leaving tickets open indefinitely just because I'm not going to address
 them, since that's what "closed wontfix" is for, IMHO.
