As previously mentioned, that is what the ports are supposed to
do. Use of the ports presupposes a certain small amount of knowledge of
how they work.

That would not be a good idea at all. Many people install ports of
software that is included in the system already for many different
reasons. It's extremely common to install a local copy of something, spend
time "off line" configuring and testing it, and only enabling it when it's
ready. Your suggestion would put the sysadmin in an awful spot if the box
rebooted unexpectedly.
Closing this PR was the appropriate action. No further action
needs to be taken.
Thanks,
Doug
