We don't want people upgrading their systems and losing packages installed in /bin because they only backed up /etc and /usr/{local,X11R6}. (It's assumed that people using ports have a little more clue than those who only use packages, that's why I don't see a problem with such a thing being a port.) If we are going to decide to allow ports/packages for things like the following, it is fine by me. * 1) statically linked and installed in (say) /local/{bin|sbin} (which is * in the root filesystem). * * 2) kernel modules.
