Maybe it would be a side effect to prevent too messy AI crawler
DoS attacks. Polite robots would possibly no longer crawl there
as of the configuration. (Recently and finally, Anubis is introduced.)

Maybe even Anubis would NOT be effective enough, as attackers (AI
companies) would find way to mimic something.

If you don't need per-builder-jail config and need bare metal builds
(make, portupgrade, pkg_replace, portmaster,...) with same options,
you can make /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options to be a symlink to
/var/db/ports.

My options for editors/libreoffice that is going to be used for next
builds is like below.

# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# Options for libreoffice-25.8.2.2
_OPTIONS_READ=libreoffice-25.8.2.2
_FILE_COMPLETE_OPTIONS_LIST=COINMP CUPS DOCS GNOME GTK3 GTK4 JAVA LTO
MARIADB MMEDIA PDFIUM PGSQL SDK TEST WEBDAV QT5 QT6 KF5 KF6
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=COINMP OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=CUPS
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=DOCS
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=GNOME
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=GTK3
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=GTK4
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=JAVA
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=LTO
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=MARIADB
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=MMEDIA
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=PDFIUM
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=PGSQL
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=SDK
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=TEST
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=WEBDAV
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=QT5
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=QT6
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=KF5
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=KF6


At least `make DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes fetch-recursive` at
/usr/ports/editors/libreoffice did not complained with it.

And what differs with my currently installed one is
for GTK3 and QT6. GTK3 is unset and QT5 instead of QT6
for the build done.
