There shouldn't be auto-remove policy, at least not the way it looks
right now.  We had traditionally allowed for mistakes to be fixed by the
port author/committer, instead of removing ports within hours without
providing any failure log or giving sufficient time to come up with a
fix.

What Antoine is doing is counter-productive and just plain rude. :-(
