What kind of "false positives" you are talking about?  As I said my
Linux bulk builds set PKG_DEVELOPER=yes for all packages, and I don't
remember any false positives at all. In the last bulk build 7728
packages were built successfully, more than on, say, NetBSD/spark.  Most
of the rest is fixable is doesn't look like "too much".

Can you point me to "too many false positives"?

Don't or do?

Could you please list these issues once again, now in public list?
After many year of using pkgsrc I still don't understand
why you don't set PKG_DEVELOPER=yes in official bulk builds.
