Correct, except that the term "platform variant" has not been correct for
several years. The platform statement used to behave like the variant statement
(creating a block of code that executes after the rest of the portfile) but now
behaves like an if statement (executing the code immediately where it appears
in the portfile).

Correct, you can't use a platform statement to do that, so use an if statement.
