I do not understand the question. Why would one put NO_STAGE=yes
to /etc/make.conf ? What problem would this solve ?

I think so, yes.

This was approx. 9 month ago. I guess this already changed in the
meantime, have you tested it again on a recent system ?

Depends on the port. Which port are we talking about ?

If you tested that it works, submit a PR and the NO_STAGE
setting can be removed from the Makefile ?
