Reminds me of an earlier conversation at https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/6767#discussion_r402584006 <https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/6767#discussion_r402584006> 

I do see some benefits is formalizing binary-only ports and to adapt the build and distribution scheme for it. Could save resources and development time and make those ports easily recognizable for those who care about the different way it was built.
