That would be even easier if the dropping of 2 lines was carried out
automatically.  I know people lazy enough to deinstall a port if they must
do any post-config for themselves ("make deinstall" is easier than thinking
for a few seconds).

Just for the records, I'm *not* one of them:

	% cat /etc/periodic.conf
	monthly_statistics_enable=yes
	monthly_statistics_report_devices=yes

I can see some of my odd hardware in the stats page!  ;)
