I'm confused by your answer. First, NLS is out of scope for the point
I'm making. Second, are you saying that you made DOCS and EXAMPLES into
OPTIONS? If so, are you saying that these options will now be presented
by default to every user, for every port?

If the old NOPORTDOCS and NOPORTEXAMPLES knobs are still honored, and if
we are not adding OPTIONS for these to every port, then I certainly have
no objection to there being default knobs for DOCS and EXAMPLES that
maintainers can choose to use for their ports.
