I normally favour ports over things in base.
In this case, however, as I said before, I needed it several times in 
emergency while booting the install key as live media.
If it's a port, it won't be there.
Perhaps my use case is rare. Also, probably there are other tools that 
can do this.

OTOH having a port is not in any way worse as having a broken piece of base.
