What alternative do you propose? Not allow any checkin that might break
the elxsi port? (Mike Stump said a while back that the last elxsi was
taken out of service, so it really, really doesn't exist).
If we want to forbid checkins that cause breakage, we have to distinguish
somehow between ports that must be kept working and ports that can be
broken (until some interested party fixes them).
