Cheers, I'll mostly defer to Petri and Arek, the IGT maintainers, on the details. I think the bigger questions are, 1) How do we ensure this does not bitrot in a matter of weeks? Which translates to, 2) Who is going to automate and maintain continuous build testing? And, 3) Who's going to take ownership of the port in general? Personally, I don't think this is going to work long term just by merging the port upstream. I think without the continuous support from people who care about FreeBSD, this is going to be a net negative.
