In many cases, supporting everything = supporting nothing well. There are a lot of huge differences between pkgsrc and what we're doing. We try to get binary packages that work (and we often do), we are not limited by general infrastructure choices... The non politically correct version ? we strive for quality, not quantity. Make your choice. As landry put it, we don't support pkgsrc.
