Hey ports@- 

already messaged #openbsd about this on libera but for digital record's
sake, I wanted to ask here as well.

I take MAINTAINER on several ports with no ONLY_FOR_ARCH set.
When looking through the bulk build reports in the ports@ lists this
morning, I saw that some ports I worked on have failed on hardware I
don't have access too.

Is there a special practice we do when this occurrs, or is the port
just never built into binary at release for that arch?

is there something like a blacklist equivalent of ONLY_FOR_ARCH?

also- If there isn't enough time to factor in these sort of hotfixes,
what is general practice when RELEASE happens, and the ports are version
froze in case I need to patch my port because someone on STABLE has
experienced breakage?

Still new-ish to this ports@ thing, forgive my noobiness :)

Thanks, any guidance is much appreciated.
