 Indeed - that's what I like about this - you can do everything within
 the normal ports work-flow - no using packages or dealing with the
 diablo distfiles. It would be much more seamless for users. In the
 suggested alternative, I would need to:
 1) pkg_add openjdk
 2) build openjdk from ports
 3) uninstall openjdk from the package
 4) install openjdk from the port
 
 portmaster/upgrade can help with 2-4 but it still need manual
 intervention beyond normal "make install clean."
 
 And of course it assumes I know this situation exists - if I don't,
 then I end up with an error related to fetching diablo distfiles that
 doesn't present a way forward, other than install diablo as a build
 dependency.
 
 Also, what about using the official packages from the cluster as the
 bootstrap instead? That would solve the problem of manually built
 packages getting behind.
