Users use the services provided by servers; administrators are hands-off after the primary build. The command line isn't used and hence documentation isn't required. Anything non-critical to the functioning of the server is removed. Ideally we'd like NOPORTDOCS and other directives to work consistently across all ports, rather than, as we do now, repackage the packages without the things unnecessary to our mission, like: examples, doc... I take your point Mel, we should file PR's. I recall some ports failed to build the package if doc wasn't included, which resulted in our time-pressed solution above. Dewayne.
