 > Also uninstall ports with only 1 dependent

 Unfortunately this can be quite inefficient in certain cases. Port A may
 have only one dependent B, but B may have a large number of dependents,
 and A is installed and uninstalled each time one of B's dependents is
 built. One specific example:
 {{{
 % port echo depends:py39-roman
 py39-docutils
 % port echo rdepends:py39-docutils | wc -l
 114
 }}}
