This should probably be documented in config(1) or some other "how the build process works" document.

That said I agree this probably deserves some broader consideration, so perhaps doc@ is the best place to discuss? Or would a developer focussed ML like hackers@ be better? -- Eitan Adler Source, Ports, Doc committer Bugmeister, Ports Security teams
