AFAIK ports like Iridium are blacklisted just because the build is 
taking "too much" time. It seems to me that the decision about which 
package to build and which to blacklist is more of a personal choice 
than a matter of exact rules.
I really would like to see Iridium packages too. Instead of keeping 
users with browsing privacy in mind to build it locally.
