It was a reminder to import the dependency for a preferred option upstream.
What you're forgetting is FreeBSD Ports have downstream consumers e.g.,
DPorts, x11/gnome/kde/etc staging and personal repos. Being the maintainer
of this port I'd prefer to define the boundaries of what I support myself.
The code in question is gone after r492060. If you insist on heavy-handed
holistic approach to handling dependencies I'd like an opinion from other
portmgr@ peers first.
