No, the systems people do do stuff wrong.  It's been plainly pointed
out many times recently when someone does something wrong.  However,
what's wrong with a little cooperation?  If a port breaks because of
a system change, the maintainer of the port is certainly welcome to
raise a stink over it.  All I'm asking is that ports maintainers make
an effort to maintain their ports.  Will's accertation that it's an
all or nothing issue is certainly not productive, and neither is the
'us versus them' inuendo here.
