I agree. Does anything speak against reducing the number of flavour by:

- removing sqlite3 flavor (I don't see the sense in this flavour, the port had
it when I took it over from the previous maintainer, but I fail to the see
the reason for it.)
When I worked on the Exim port I kept the existing flavors only because
I didn't know whether OpenBSD's port system could handle upgrades from
one flavor to another smoothly.
I'd put the mysql, postgresql, sqlite3, ldap and sasl flavors into a
single flavor called "heavy". The database flavors only pull in the
client libraries, not the server packages. As far as I can see these
flavors don't need to be kept separate.
BTW, SQLite3 support in Exim is useful. For example, I use SQLite3
databases to store greylisting data.

If one want to keep changes as minimal as possible I would prefer to
keep the database/ldap/sasl flavors separated.
