Overall: you continue to treat the FreeBSD mailing lists as your personal blog and only half-listen to what actual FreeBSD developers tell you. Anyone converting from a non-default personal build of the system should use packages built with their personal non-default options. They can thereafter switch to packages built with other options if they like, but the initial conversion to pkgbase should be done using packages that match what is already installed.
