That would be very nice. There is a weird situation now where you can't do ISO creation within 'make release' without also building ports, which is a lot of overhead. I "solved" this problem by scripting the ISO creation as a separate step, but it felt kludgy to me. Another nice improvement in this space would be to be able to select the specific ISO(s) that you want to create.
