 One of the reasons this is needed is to allow
 develop[ment/ers] of local code or packages to
 easily bring in libraries and things they need.
 Without having to build and deal with them
 locally. Automation of build environments.
 
 Less or selected bandwidth use.
 
 Another case is openoffice. 2.4.x is outdated
 and good-day does not carry the deps for any
 version, thus it needs manual intervention and
 pointing to freebsd.org/mirror to install the deps.
