I don't think that was a good idea either. When broken ports are discovered 
during an exp-run it's the responsibility of the committer to either fix 
the ports or open PRs, assigned to the maintainers, to address the problems.

I'm importing kea 2.7.6 (development branch) as kea-deevl. It addresses the 
problem. I will backport the fix to the 2.6 branch (kea).

boot-libs 1.87 fails to patch. I've emailed the committer and cc'd this 
list. All we've heard are crickets.

Agreed.

Certainly disappointing.
