Are you willing to build all 6100+ ports to verify all of them are okay with +with_default_names? Also, note that some of these ports are dependencies for other ports, so it may not simply be a case of "you wanted it, so you must want it as the default". For example, I have m4 and gsed installed solely as dependencies, and I believe that's how I've ended up with coreutils before.
