(The rationale being that it's extremely unlikely that > someone would want docs but no release notes.) Yes, that's true. OTOH, I really wonder why we use NO* for such things (NODOC, NOCLEAN, [ports: NOPORTDOCS], ...), but NO_* for some disable knobs, like sendmail, bind, etc. This is quite inconsistent, even if it has historical reasons. Just read the section in make.conf which describes the various NO_KNOBS and wonder, why it's NOUUCP but NO_SENDMAIL :-) Odd.
