As I have heard, it is voice of real people in real world. You know, users do not read documentation and someday they will discover the filesystem is nearly full. Because real users do not read documentation they don't know about DISTDIR, WRKDIRPREFIX, PACKAGES, PORTSDIR and whatnot, they simply mount new bigger filesystem, copy /usr/ports over, set symlink and think that's it. Simple and understandable, this is preferred method in the wild as I have seen so many times. -- Vallo Kallaste
