Do you actually use it, or is it just in the default compile that you're running?I do not use it personally but it is common sense that commits must not be breaking the build.I generally agree, but the minor ports (roughly, anything not x86 Linux) are inevitably going to get broken from time to time, because not everybody has access to all those systems to test on. bsd-user is particularly bad because it is a large chunk of code only built for BSD and it's not really maintained right now. (Hence my interest in whether it actually has users or if we're just carrying around a big lump of dead weight code.)
This is just excuses and points out poor project process. There could easily be a staging branch to deal with this.
If we had a system that automatically tested all pull requests on a full set of build systems and mailed the list with the results, that would be nice, but we don't... thanks -- PMM
