I don't need the !English language support offered by NLS/gettext, so
prefer not to have the extra space consumed on my hard drives whenever
possible. Is anything in software ever truly a 100% solution? That said,
I agree that the default should be "ON" for the purpose of package
building, and if the whole knob went away I wouldn't lose sleep.
I don't use NOPORTDOCS personally, but I can see the use case for it,
and don't mind putting in the effort to support it in my ports.
hth,
Doug
