Yes, apparently there was, but from later e-mails, it sounds like phk's
commit wasn't derived from that conversation :-).  There was a thread on a
Minimilist 4.8 to build less-burdened FreeBSD releases for special
purposes, and how we didn't have toggles for some larger pieces (compiler,
for example) during install.  I assumed, on seeing phk's commit, that it
was the result of the thread, but ... :-)
