Woah, this is missing most of what Alfred was saying. There should be
no "class 1 ports", and if jpeg went in base, it should be because
base requires and uses it, not because it is useful to 3rd party
software in base. The base jpeg *would not* even be visible to
ports/3rd party software by default, only to base and things
especially configured to use base.

Cheers
