--- Comment #2 from Charlie Li <vishwin@freebsd.org> ---
Not a fan of this. Even as an opt-in since it's more liability to maintain.

The point of ports is for system packaging purposes, nothing more. While
currently unenforced because the relevant PEP has not been implemented in the
lang/python distribution/interpreter ports, front-ends like pip and uv are
expressly prohibited from touching the portions of hier(7) that are pkg(8)'s
exclusive domain.

Such tooling for other purposes can operate outside of the aforementioned
portions of hier(7) like $HOME or virtual environments.
