Comment:

 I think this is a good idea, but telling it will permit to save some disk
 space seems wrong to me, currently a port consumes almost the same disk
 space active or inactive, with images-through-archives, an active port
 will consume twice as much as an inactive port. As most users have only
 active ports, I think this argument is incorrect.
