Thierry, 

I fail to see how anyone could consider a request for improvement as "being
harrassed".  I do not see any personal texts here.

What I would however very much like to see is that ports that offer "make test"
pass the test on the mainstream OS and ARCH - so we know when stuff breaks at
"build-time" and not at run-time, which I see as improving the overall user
experience.  And I am not sure that I like too much if someone adds a new port
that isn't ready without it being marked experimental or anything.  

What's your urge? June 30 approaching for 2024Q3? Then quality is also
urgent...

I appreciate that different people in a large project may have different
standards or let's rather say priorities as to when to consider something
"done", but then also you seem to be frustrated with other ports - what does
this have to do with a newly added mmg port?   Re-enabling tests later once you
had had added those tests is a matter of usually one Makefile line, so that
cannot be the actual reason.

(Thierry may not see a copy from BZ directly any more, I will make sure he sees
my comment.)
