One disadvantage is that you then cannot intersperse MK_foo files or
subdirs in between unconditional ones, and keep a certain order, e.g.
like:

FILES+=3D a b c
.if ${MK_foo} !=3D "no"
FILES+=3D d e f
.endif
FILES+=3D g h i

Of course, this is only important for a few particular places, most of
the tree should not care too much about the order in which subdirs or
files are built.
