Well, sure, everyone would agree that thorough run-time testing would be
ideal but it's simply unrealistic due to:

1) The time required
2) more important, the expertise required.  The vast majority of the 25K
ports in the tree, I've never used.  I have no idea how to do basic
runtime testing on them much less a thorough review (All I could give is
to see if it starts up)

In this case, to run-test this is even more obnoxious, you need to
download an image from apple, presumably a large image.  I have a 20G
data limit *per month*  (unlimited at night) because I have
satellite-based internet.  I can't afford data use like this.

And --- we have have a huge backlog on the PRs.  the time is better
spent getting through PRs 3, 6 even 12 months old rather than burning it
all on one 10-year unmaintained port.  Let's use what limited volunteer
time we have wisely, and let users submit new PRs if there's a run issue
(which indicates the port is actually used as well).
