+==== Allow a Variant to More Elegantly Become “undefaulted” ==== #undefaulted
+
+A port can be installed with different [https://guide.macports.org/chunked/using.variants.html variants].
+A variant is used if requested by a user or if the variant is declared default.
+If the default designation is removed, new installations will not use it, but it will continue to be used by the users who upgrade from a port version when it was still the default.
+It would be useful to have a way to perpetuate a previously default variant only if the user specifically requested it.
