Not really holding a grudge; the problem was only just resolved
yesterday. In a week, it would be forgotten. It was just ironic.

I'm not saying "screw the port"; I'm saying "help sorting through the
failed-build packages may well be wasted work."
There may be plenty of other things that are not wasted work. But
until the port maintainers figure out a way to not toss work, is it
really churlish of me to say I'm not so much interested in doing that
work myself?
I don't want to see a hundred Debian developers each process two of
these packages, and have all that labor wasted.
