Not always. There are cases when I need to include misc/mc into nanobsd-based
FreeBSD system installed and upgraded via r/o image that needs to be as small as possible
to fit two code partitions (A/B) into small flash storage (CompactFlash etc.)
So I need only essential dependencies. Decrease this bloat as much as possible. No python, too.
Sometimes I'm forced to hack ports Makefiles to drop non-essential dependencies
like python out of misc/mc port that disables some its "VFS" support I never use anyway.
And I am happy that I do not need to hack it much more to get rid of all that X stuff.
