I get what you're saying, but please consider which is easier to reverse-
deleting an accidentally saved library, or restoring an accidentally
deleted library?

Defaults should be safe.  I was bitten by this with pcre- sometimes we
can't update all our ports at one time.

How isn't it correct?  We still keep src libraries around until we make
delete-old-libs.  Why should ports be different?
