The people who maintain the firewall or would set up the server may not
have a clue about the Macintosh, let alone MacPorts.
The required managerial sign-off may not have a clue about computers of any

their sign-off by providing a PDF with an executive summart; MacPorts fans
could send them via Internal snail mail to corporate.
