That's great news, truly!   I'd love to see the back end cranking on building 
everything in the collection, with new builds being triggered by commits once 
everything has been verified to either build or not build across the collection 
as a whole.  Once that is done, we can actually start worrying about the 
presentation side of things (AKA "front end") and maybe donate some hours (from 
Apple's side) to create the relevant web interfaces to it.  I know that 
MacPorts has been in a holding pattern for a long time on this issue, and if 
there is anything Apple can do to help land the plane here then I'm more than 
willing to discuss that.
