100s of xorg ports, will there be an xorg-base port?

Hi,

I think it would be nice if you could make an xorg-base port which will 
have the minimal ports installed. Most of the programs like xeyes etc. 
are not needed, it is ridiculous to install a port for each!

Plus, most people are not happy to add ~400 more ports to their FreeBSD 
boxes. I even read that somebody is planning to change to Linux because 
of this mess.

Is this a planned change? I think the whole idea of xorg going to 
seperate packages was reducing the size and modularize xorg. When we 
install all anyhow, makes no sense at all.

Thanks,
Evren
