Yes, I understand you (portmgr team) are too busy. But bento issue is
answered as "soon" many times.
Why do you (portmgr team) *do* everything yourself? IMHO, portmgr
should *manage* the Ports Collection, should not *do* everything by
theirselves.
As knu said, we have an automated bento cluster. We can easily test
new auto{conf,make} suite by changing default in bsd.port.mk. I think
we have enough time for testing by this method before you really get
root privilege.
We also have large number of ports users in ports@FreeBSD.org. If we
change default of auto{conf,make} suite, I believe we can get many
feedbacks from them.
Please relax and don't take the heavy responsibility upon yourselves
only. We have many developers, and let's use this resource.
