I'm not directly involved with this, just curious. What would be the benefit of users' clicks for owners of such software? What would owners of such software lose if they didn't require clicks? What would be the benefit for pkg owners for investing time and effort into supporting such feature? How would FreeBSD project and its users benefit from it?
