How well do you know our users?

I'm seeing more and more folks wondering why they have to build Rust when
they install e.g. BIND from ports.  There're plenty of people who install
software from ports for various reasons, and crazy^Wdubious dependencies
give us bad image in their eyes and might turn them away from FreeBSD.

At least Rust should not be pulled by default in the `graphics/py-pillow'
and `graphics/gd' ports, it's pulluting the docs generation stack where
it's absolutely not needed.
