We currently have 3787 ports. I expect a majority of these ports to
fail building +universal. Do you really want emails sent out about
2000+ ports, and 2000+ changes to add the exact same behaviour?
To put it simply, the universal variant paul added is not going to
work for, I expect, a majority of ports. Thus, it should be an opt-in
rather than an opt-out.

I don't think anything needs to be done. I don't have any problem
with the +universal variant being listed even if it doesn't work.
If someone tries it and it does not work, then they should submit a
bug report to the maintainer, just as they would for any other
problem with the port. Then the maintainer will either fix it or
add a universal variant which just outputs a us_msg explaining that
a universal build is not available at this time. Problem solved.
