Is this new behavior for 'make fetch'?  Asking because we recently have
had a relatively large number of poudriere fetch failures, most without
sufficient logging of the cause.  As we reuse /usr/ports/distfiles
across architectures and versions it would be helpful if these
intentional but unnecessary conditional failures could be overridden.
