> portmgr's job is to maintain the framework and curate the ports tree.  We mark ports BROKEN when they have been failing to build for months.

As pkubaj says, unless maintainers have a easy way to test on BROKEN_ARCH #n,
they most likely won't.  And, we have never made it a requirement for them to
do so.

IMHO portmgr running (quarterly?) TRYBROKEN runs on various architectures is
something we should do.  OTOH that discussion is probably not within the scope
of a PR.  If desired, I can start a thread on ports-developers@ or suchlike.
