Hi,

It would certainly speed up the process in general for treewide projects 
if ports in tree already followed what Porters Handbook suggests as 
closely as possible so people wouldn't need to hunt down edge cases, 
require tooling to handle such cases, fix ports because of it and make 
the tree/codebase easier for new committers and contributors.

For unmaintained ports it would help for example if whenever possible a 
port would be scheduled for sunset instead of just being dumped in tree 
because due to being "very" outdated or dead upstream. There are a few 
committers who works on this but we lack manpower to cover everything 
which you probably are aware of already.

Best regards,
Daniel
