I think it's time to abandon the > recursive pulling in of dependencies. Does that matter all that much when there are ports that take several hours to build? As I see it the important figure is the total time taken to register all installed ports, divided by the total time to download, build and install them. As long as that figure remains small it doesn't really matter that small ports install inefficiently.
