Liking ports systems does not mean you study the whole source code.

I have some ports systems that allow me to create packages that feature my own
patches. It is convenient. BUt it does not mean I have to go through all the
source code in the ports tree to enjoy the advantages of a port system.

Also, using ports systems does not mean you are a tin-foil hat wearer.
