Flaws in the ports system?

[nocturnal]

Hi

This is a very low priority discussion but i was just wondering if there 
are any known design flaws in the ports system or other reasons for the 
ports to be replaced by a new system.

I'm wondering because ever since i started with freebsd and then 
discovered the ports they have been working perfectly so i must know if 
they truly are perfect or if some of you gurus out there see flaws in 
the system.

This is 100% curiosity.
