Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #51619, comment 20

initial	v1
1		To state the obvious, variants suck. You all know why...only one variant can be the default. Thus the need for {{{require_active_variants}}. And the buildbots (at least for now) only build the default. Thus we only serve binaries for the default--which is pretty important for something as large as Qt.

3	3	As an aside, the current implementation of {{{require_active_variants}}} isn't very friendly to novice users. The word "error" is repeated several time while masking the actual polite message to just reinstall port foo with variant +bar. My mythtv-* ports need {{{require_active_variants}}} and numerous times users have been convinced that the port is broken when they get this result.
