Maybe the problem is that TexLive is a monster (already teTex is a monster) that many long time TeX users don't want on their hard disk. Having TeXLive as a port would be nice, having it as the default TeX seems to me stupid. It means that installing any port which has a dependency on TeX would install this several hundred mega bytes monster for any one, even those who don't intend to use TeX in any way. Even most TeX users have no use for LuaTex and other niceties of TexLive. -- Michel TALON
