I don't think this is appropriate. We are all volunteers here. Ryan and 
others are investing a lot of their spare time to work for MacPorts. We 
all have different motivations for our contributions and run the OS in 
different environments. This isn't ignorance, it just meant as this 
problem occurred we needed more information to solve it.

Even the Apple User Management Manual [1] doesn't tell us that mobile 
users are using UIDs > 1000 and that this range is reserved for this 
use. That's what we found out with the help from the community. MacPorts 
can be only as good as the contributions to it.
