That is correct. Mandating all ports developers take an additional step of review for something they don't use, will slow down all other work. If a mandate is only desired/needed by 1% of people, a tremendous inefficiency is being proposed by pushing that onto a small development community bombarded by constant change. OpenBSD cannot be everything to everyone. It takes a lot of hubris to believe otherwise, and furthermore push a community in a direction.
