Me too, I'm not smart enough to understand things like quilt.  The 
current patch workflow is trivial enough for me, has good tooling, and 
I've never hit any limitations with it.

I do think packages such as www/chromium which pushes it to its limits 
should be done with forked sources though, just like lang/openjdk* are.
Much simpler than trying to manage over 1,600 patch files, and saves 
significant repository bloat.
