The problem with the science/py-tensorflow port stems from it being 
built by an unstable tool "bazel" that Google promotes. Bazel is 
overengineered, overly complex, hard to use, has obscure parts, and also 
changes frequently. It doesn't even have a feature to install files, 
like GNU Make or cmake. IMO, tensorflow can't just be "cleaned up" and 
built after this. Every Bazel-based port would suffer from the same 
problems. Google can afford to have such a tool, but other's don't have 
that kind of resources to handle these issues. I'd just fork the bazel 
port to the version that can build TensorFlow, this is the easiest solution.
