--- Comment #1 from Jan Beich <jbeich@FreeBSD.org> ---
If stability is a real concern PGTK (and maybe XAW) can probably be moved i=
nto
a flavor. Unfortunately, without provides/requires in Mk/bsd.port.mk that m=
ay
require bloating USES=3Demacs packages with more flavors.

-devel suffix in emacs-devel already implies adventurous users: Emacs snaps=
hots
can cause crashes or break Elisp code.

According to bsdstats "emacs-nox" (63) is more popular than "emacs" (49) and
"emacs-devel" (2) is more popular than "emacs-devel-nox" (0). The ratio
discrepancy is curious and can imply a subset chose "emacs-devel" because of
Wayland support.

Disclaimer: I'm not part of emacs@, just a Wayland user using emacs-devel b=
ut
not represented in bsdstats (to avoid bias for my ports).
