I agree.

To further add to what Chris said, note that contributions to support a port 
don't need to remain in a fork before the platform becomes "officially 
supported".  We'd prefer that the necessary work to support a port happens in 
the main repository if possible.  People can use forks to do experimentation, 
etc., but once the bring up starts reaching some critical mass I think it is 
valuable to get those changes into the main repository long before the port is 
"done".
