its a valid question, as our team has used ports as the bases for venom roms before such as
sensation: ics and jb versions
inc2/incS/mt4g/dhd/saga/dz: ics versions
evo3d gsm and cdma: ics versions
amaze 4g: ics
however this was done simply because there were no other options; none of the above devices ever got official sense4 from htc and the respective carriers, and some weren't even officially updated to ics (and sensation not to jellybean)
in the event where we know (or at least have been told by several sources) that we are getting official 4.2.2 sense 5.1 and its been in the testing system for awhile now (and the butterfly clearly is) it makes the most sense to me at least to wait for our official rom to come to out and base off the most stable product possible...rather than start on 4.1.2 and sense5 and either have the work wasted as our ota comes out before we are done or best case have to redo everything over after we do get a rom out
as ive said theoretically we could throw out some half-assed 4.1.2 sense5 viper rom that will have maybe 75% of the 4+ tweaks working and inherent bugs to the base port....but vin and i don't want to be a part of supporting that....ive done some of the viper roms based on ports (the wvga devices) and its just complaint after complaint about not fixing xyz bug thats essential to everyday use and so on
