I sympathize, but I think it's like other low-quality code.  What if
somebody writes to the man pages no their bleeding edge GNU/Linux
system, and ignores basic portability?  It's basically the same mess
with a dose of unreviewable.

If somebody wants to package linuxslop with BROKEN_EXCEPT_ON=Linux, then
I don't feel that I should try to stop them.  I can see us removing a
package if we get to "we're getting bugs about it and nobody is willing
to touch it".   I can see that we might end up with concerns about
embedded malware and decide it's too dangerous, and rename the package
to -bin to denote that it's not really source code.
