Well, the world is imperfect, and sometimes the automated bots run by us
will not be able to explicitly point out which port is getting problem...=


All the purpose of this sort of letters (e.g. tinderbox build failure
reports, etc) is in the hope that someone can pick up the work and fix
it before users actually being hit by a bug and thus save their time.
In other words, this is something like "Look out!  Ports tree have some
*known* trouble now and please do not report problems (without patch, of
course) until things gets fixed."

Cheers,
