No, these are no good examples for flavours, as I understand them ...

These are possible typical sub-package categories, or rather you could
remove the DOCS from the base port, but offer a sub-package for them.


I'd rather think that NO-X11 might become a typical flavour, or the
dependency on a particular crypto library (e.g. openssl vs. libressl).
