I agree having some ordering is a good thing.  I'm just not convinced
that the mechanism used was the best way.  Since I haven't thought of
a better way, I'll slink away and search for it. :)

How big are the base bits?  I have 440MB of packages on the first
disc right now.

# Can these scripts be committed somewhere?  The reason this has happened

What scripts?  The ones that we (Satoshi and I) use to build packages
are already in ports/Tools/portbuild/*.  Mine are a slight variant of
those (I only have two scripts really) that are tuned more towards my
having only one Alpha machine to build packages on.

If you are talking about the package splitting scripts, then you can
find lots of copies of them in bento.freebsd.org:/b/steve/*.  I intend
to commit them one day but haven't found the time to clean them up to
the point where someone besides me can get them to work.

My ksh93 port is up-to-date and it still has RESTRICTED in it.  If we
can distribute these bits now, then someone needs to update the port
to reflect it.
