FWIW, the default on the vim port have taken the dports users by 
surprise.  I've gotten several complaints about the boatload of ports 
that get sucked in (and the amount of bandwidth it requires) by vim. 
They didn't know vim-lite existed.

I agree the default should be "light" and the kitchen sink version 
should be explicitly requested (if two ports are indeed needed for 
pre-built binary reasons).
