I sincerely disagree and think it's quite rude to users to not accept their reports however they send them to us. current@ constantly has build failures on it, even automated. There's no reason ports@ shouldn't either. It tells everyone that "yes" there is a problem with this port and "it's not just me". -- Regards, Bryan Drewery
