It would be nice if pbulk had a config file mechanism to exclude
packages, so that you could do what you want without carrying a patch.

It's trivial enough to do this with a few lines in mk.conf, which is how I've done this:

  https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/pkgbuild/blob/master/conf/netbsd-trunk-x86_64/mk.conf#L66-L72

I've had similar in other builds for a long time, mostly to avoid packages which hang the build for whatever reason, e.g.:

  https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/pkgbuild/blob/master/conf/macos-trunk-arm64/mk.conf#L66-L74

I personally don't think that pbulk needs to duplicate this with some custom solution.
