It does not. The complexity of keeping such a huge number of
interdepend ports/packages building and running is not imposed
by poudriere, it's imposed by the general development pace.

Having tools like poudriere helps enormously to keep things
together.

It does not prevent you, but the port (not pkg) message is written
in relation to poudriere. So yes, I think you misunderstood the
message. To be fair, the topic is complicated and formulating
a message that can not be misunderstood is non-trivial.
