I think I agree, although its important that these ports still get the care and attention they did when they were part of the base system (not saying they wouldn't). The installer should probably then have an option to install a "traditional FreeBSD installation" that automatically picks sendmail, bind etc. That way its no harder for people who want things to stay the same. It would be nice if so much stuff became optional we could fit on smaller drives...200MB seems to be the minimum for bin + man atm...of course I'm not even going to dare suggest what should be made optional :-) I don't suppose many people are trying to use smaller drives now days anyway, except for the embedded people and thats what PicoBSD is for.
