I'm actually wondering why are we are not marking ~400 "not safe"
ports instead of marking ~20k-400 others as "safe".  I realize that the
build cluster cannot catch every implication of parallel builds, but
that huge amount of gratuitous commits worries me.  One of the really
cool things about our port infrastructure is ability to hide lots of the
build process under simple declarative rules, letting the porter specify
"what" they want instead of exactly "how".  To me, MAKE_JOBS_SAFE knob
does not fit nicely in this paradigm.
