--- Comment #2 from daniel.engberg.lists at pyret.net ---
We already have many packages only providing shared libraries especially since
many are moving away or have already made the transition from GNU Autools where
static libraries cases aren't enabled by default or for instance aren't
supported without building the project twice (quite common for CMake projects
in that regard  as an example). Shared libraries are also the main target
regarding compatibility between ports and additionally this seems to be the
common practice among other distributions (most provide a separate
"sub"-package if any at all for static libraries). It's also been discussed in
#bsdports by several members and the general opinion each time is that they
shouldn't be shipped at all or at least not by default. I'm also guessing that
it has been a topic for quite some time given it's in Mk/bsd.options.desc.mk
:-)
