Just before this one gets a stopper for a lot of ports:

Juan will look into doing a 1.5.2 (or whatever) release which includes the fix for the "/Applications" bug and also turns the violation errors into non-fatal warnings (for now). I should have done it this way from the start, to let us do some cleaning before the fist of quality assurance hits our ports.


I think having a whitelist is always going to be troublesome. Take cross-compilers: The standard layout for a cross-compiler toolchain on all systems is:
${prefix}/<host tuple>
eg:
${prefix}/arm-apple-darwin

It seems like it would make much more sense to use a blacklist that catches common errors, rather than a whitelist that catches anything that can't be easily pre-defined.
