Julian,

This statement perpetuates the idea that somehow anything in ports is
"lesser" than things that are in src, which frankly I'm way past being
sick of. The ports tree is part of FreeBSD, period. If you don't believe
me, try installing just the base without installing any ports, and then
see how much work you're able to get done.
