Okay.  Now I'm on the same page as you.

My question, then, is why are you imposing this feature requirement on
these ports?  This feature isn't required by other ports that offer
services.

As a developer, I want to stop and start Tomcat all the time.  However,
I'm quite prepared to use su or sudo to do it, as I do with all the
other services provided by FreeBSD ports.

Ciao,
