My take is that having comments about things that should be better in
Makefiles is ok.  The real question is if the existing code in the
makefile is good enough for pkgsrc proper, and I don't see removing a
comment as progress if it is still appropriate.  Of course
thinking/discussing and deciding on an approach, and removing the
comment is also progress, and this is often a tough judgement call.  I
just wanted to say that an absolute "a comment that says maybe we should
do something different is absolutely not allowed on import" seems too
strong.
