Does anyone else find it bizarre that, in 2015, we've got such an
active thread about saving a few gigs of space?
Nope. Saving disk space when not required is always a good idea.
If I buy a sub-compact car, I can hardly complain that my skiis won't
fit inside. I truly understand cost constraints and tradeoffs.
However, if a compressed archive of MacPorts-installed packages is
the tipping point for your system...I'd say you're running far too
close to the edge.

consumes it. Get a bigger drive. Or smaller expectations.
And how pray does one do that in a Mac Book with non-upgradable
Solid state storage...

Or the time-honoured fashion in the Apple world...trade up.
