I, for one, appreciate the ability to specify which ports I don't care if 
people apply patches to vs. ports where I'm very careful about updating/keeping 
things from breaking.

Ultimately, I'm not willing to provide active support for something that lots 
of other people are going to (potentially) be updating (and, in general, I 
prefer to get prior notice of a possible change before it hits the repo).
