Aren't php flavors going to somewhat make the point moot? I recently
added flavoring to the php-composer port, for example. It is now
available for any php version(in the latest packages, will trickle down
to quarterly).

PHP applications still need to be ported to flavors, it requires only a
little time.

Maybe I am missing something obvious.
