A ports tree can't ever be a decent shop window, there's just no way of 
displaying enough information about the goods on sale in a filesystem 
listing. Thus there's no point in putting more boards into the shelf - if you 
want to go window-shopping for software, use freshmeat, then feed your picks 
to locate, make search or freshports.
