Mental note to self:

x11/gnome "depends on" x11/gnome-base and x11/gnome-extra (hyphens
intentional, to differentiate from other gnome ports, that don't
have hyphens).

Better?  That way, the end-user who clicks on the "I want GNOME"
button gets a fully-functional system, and those that are just
developing or testing gnome ports should generally only have
to worry about have gnome-base installed.  Whilst there will be
screams of "bloat", having as few different types of GNOME
dependency as possible makes things a lot easier on everybody.
