I do not understand why this is a problem.
The new version bring some signification performance improvements which 
is very helpful to users.
For me, it drops the compile time of go based ports from 20-40 minutes 
to 2 minutes which is a massive improvement for poudriere.
And if the developers do not include this modification, this is fine. 
But I think it is only fair to give also the user a change to decide and 
therefor are forks existing.

Using a fork enable us to battle test new features without have an 
effect to stability of the core poudriere.

If the port get many installations that would also give an idea to the 
developers how popular these modifications are and they can be included 
upstream.

Sry, but I do not get the point, why that would be counterproductive, I 
see it exactly the opposite, it will help the poject to better get an 
idea if these modification are requested by the community and if they work.
