Can you please elaborate?
If you mean that I could just run 'make distclean', then my answer is why should
I.  I.e. if the ports infrastructure already knows that there is something wrong
with a local copy of a distfile (wrong size, wrong checksum), then it should
just do the right thing and not annoy me to run some cleanup action.
