Strongly disagree. > Or if it cannot, the "base > system" needs to start using pkg_* (somehow) for use, and src.conf > WITHOUT_xxx (where xxx = some software) removed.

However, in general - a large part of the reason why I use FreeBSD is that the FreeBSD base system gives me most of what I want, in *one* well defined chunk, *without* having to install a zillion extra packages, and without umpteen different versions of config files and locations for the important information. So please don't destroy this.
