Well, the thing is, portmgr's job is not to fix all the ports, it is to
curate the ports tree.  It means that when something is broken, we don't
try to look at why.  We mark it broken and let the community fix it.

Also, we only mark ports as being broken because they are not fetchable
after about six months of them not being fetchable.

And each time, people who should know better assume that we're dumb and
are in error because while they should know how the ports tree work,
they figure they know better than us and we're wrong.

So, yeah, from time to time, especially after it's the fifth time in
like two days that someone tells us "you're doing shit" while being
clueless, it happens that we're not as patient as we could be.
