We should probably have a discussion in September about what to do with the newly acquired freedom. For instance, there are way too many tiny files in the ports tree that slow down subversion operations and take up way too much disk space (smallest file size on default FreeBSD install these days is 4KiB). I think we should move distinfo into the Makefile, combine all pkg-* files into one Pkgfile (using ucl syntax maybe?) and combine patches per feature instead of one patch per file. I'd like to get rid of the files directory too, at least in most cases.
