The problem with that is that it removes all motivation to ever port the
packages. They'll just stay that way forever, where forever means "until
I threaten to remove that from the virtual," in which case we'll be in
the same scenario we are now. Why? Because people have better things to
do than fix stuff that isn't broken.
