I've many changes, nothing that would upset poudriere though.

I've probably grasped the wrong ideas from this thread. I thought it was
about the implied effective deprecation of the ports infrastructure for
a binary package only structure, with poudriere being used to create
custom packages in any way it wants going forward.

If pordriere continues to build via the make system we have already,
then I can't see any issue.

What's the reasoning behind people claiming a shift from "make install"
to poudriere is necessary?
