I would also say that I don't understand this comment. If
"the real" ports tree is not going to use the pkg-data ideas,
then why bother generating a second copy of the ports tree?
That just gives us more work to do, with zero benefits
("zero benefits" because everyone will still be using
"the real" ports tree).
