Let me stop you right here and say: ports Framework itself is
suffering from this wishful attitude and this has nothing to do
with readily available poudriere "replacements" which are not
as good as poudriere for sure.

If the ports framework isn't seen as a stand alone infrastructure
worth its own integrity the discussion is already dead and the
quality will keep to decline for every casual FreeBSD user who
doesn't really care for this or that tool, but wants to install
software from the ports tree manually.
