But that doesn't mean that it should be in the main tree instead of in ports. The main tree should contain only the base OS? Ports is for all the nice optional extras. This way the main tree could grow completely out of bounds. Because the same can be said about Java (and also about python, scheme etc.). There are many tcl/perl like scripting languages. Java will probably become the most important. Should Java also be put in the main tree? I'd like more to see perl be removed from the main tree (since perl4 is outdated anyway, and perl5 is in ports).
