--- Comment #5 from Daniel Engberg <diizzy@FreeBSD.org> ---
I'm not against utilizing USE_C*STD however I do think it also introduces m=
ore
"framework quirks" which might not be desirable. People are already struggl=
ing
with remembering "common" helpers/macros and I don't think we need to add m=
ore
especially ones that have never been "announced" as in never been mentioned=
 in
Porters Handbook.

Both CMake and Meson for example handles this by themselves whereas homegro=
wn,
GNU Autotools and rarely utilized build frameworks in general do not. Worth
considering is also that this setting isn't commonly required however given=
 the
amount of ports there's a bit of a number not still a small percentage over=
all.

While BROKEN might be a bit too agressive I think there's benefit in being a
bit strict in this case as it makes overall maintaince easier, more consist=
ent
than having multiple ways to approach the same issue in.
