IMHO, *all* of the games should go to "ports". :-) And that is YO, CSRG saw it fit to put the games in BSD, this issue seems to come up about 4 months after new folks come on board.

If you don't like the games there has already been complete mechanisms put in place so you don't have to have them. src tree builds without them, you can install the binary releases without them.
