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
