The extract/configure vs build ratio is bad compared to a "build everything" case. Other ports may cut down more on the build time. The reason I used the php port as an example is the amount of extensions it provides = the mount of packages it could generate when converted to subpackages, and because it fits the "use master/slave ports as a last resort" case (= use subpackages instead of master/slave = no slave port to depend upon = no slave port to depend upon). Without making it explicit in the docs that this is a bad idea and why, it would mean someone will provide a patch or introduce a smiliar cased port and the fear of suboptimal port builds will be realized.
To my understanding the current implemntation does *not* separate the concept of individual packages which can be build vs origin (except we keep slave ports for subpackages, which defeats the purpose to cut down on build time during package building). This understanding can off course be wrong, so any example which makes me understand that this is not the case is welcome.
