If the portmaster-created "distfiles" bother you, stop using portmaster, perhaps? It seems superfluous to me anyway; I don't get why people feel they need it with pkg. IFAIK, options has always been in /var/db/ports, this is not new. It didn't get moved. I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve with the "what problem was solved" line of questioning. If it were moved, are you trying to get it moved back? What's the goal here? John
