Is the transition from wip to pkgsrc a one-way road? How about moving
those packages back to wip? Then it is still possible for some
adventurous people to build them within the pkgrc framework and bring
them back in a few years when they are fixed. But less able people
don't suffer a bad experience by tripping over broken packages,
getting mad at pkgsrc and NetBSD and turning to lesser OSes or package
systems.

Just my 2 cents...
