It would still be nice to know, what you think this move will improve.
Because it will fuck over people who have for example the following in
their make.conf

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/www/apache2*}
WITH_APR_FROM_PORTS=true
WITH_LDAP=true
WITH_AUTHNZ_LDAP=true
.endif

Let alone people who have used the OPTIONS framework and saved their
settings to /var/db/ports/.

So, again, what is gained by that move and how does it offset those
people's inconvenience?
