You're right but there are apps like eg. starcraft that don't deserve to waste repository space. That engine is miles away from completion but it's still nice to give it a try since someone bothered compiling it.

Also I find it's somewhat of a constraint.

But the devs have already decided and it's probably for the best.

I say we should lock the thread since it only wastes time.
