Mandate a CD-changer? ;) Seeing as I am aware (as most FreeBSDers are) of the enormous support that WC has given us, the idea that eventually WC might sell a completely separate CD (or set of CDs) supporting ports, either the distfiles only, or all of /usr/ports with distfiles, doesn't bother me in the least.
