releng is preventing a future where we have to rebuild a large swath of
packages for some emergency or another, only to find that a good chunk
of them fail to rebuild.  This is a bad situation to be in.

Often times, the only way to get somebody to work on these is to
threaten to remove them from the distro.  It brings out the people who
actually care about the packages so that they can work on making them
build again.
