Please STOP!

He is the maintainer of portmaster and, for many people, portmaster is
still a critical system component that is not replaceable by either synth
or poudriere. Since his goal is to make portmaster work, telling him that
he should use another tool is missing the whole point.

The issue he is bringing up is NOT flavors. portmaster has supported
flavors for some time. It is changes made to a set of ports that seems to
break the existing paradigm of the ports system.
