I strongly disagree with this conclusion. Some of your statements are
true but I think pkglint is very useful tool. It helped me a lot of
times. It is just not perfect but the same can be said about any
software project. I even think that pkglint is one of the best tool even
created for pkgsrc. Let's stop blaming it and start improving it step by
step as soon as new problems appears or becomes annoying.
