TIL: there are alternative ports trees with ports that don't exist in FreeBSD's tree

Some people submit ports to this fork: 
https://github.com/myfreeweb/freebsd-ports-dank

Some ports that exist there aren't in the main tree, for example "x11 
<https://github.com/myfreeweb/freebsd-ports-dank/tree/lite/x11>/tilix".

If one person submits a new port into this "dank" mirror, and another 
person would just commit the port for the same software to the main 
ports tree, the work of the first contributor would be wasted, because 
his port would just stay in this fork.
