And what about the folks who ftp the binary and never install the ports collection? They use the /usr/share/examples stuff as a base. I certainly do not install the ports dist at sysinstall time and only do so eventually after cvsup'ing the ncvs tree and checking source and ports out of there. Also, the share/examples stuff is supposed to be preset for getting the active branch that the release is from, when using checkout mode. To duplicate that in the port you'd need multiple versions of the files and be sensitive on the OS version.
