Comment (by TheKevJames):

 My bad for dropping the ball on that PR. Somewhere in the three months it
 took to get reviews on it, I must have forgotten to remove that line.

 I can indeed go back and remove it -- though I would be curious if
 macports has a policy on this sort of thing? Personally, I would assume
 most folks using yabai actually do want it to autostart by default, the
 use-cases for installing an alternate Window Manager and only enabling it
 manually after each restart seem less likely than having it enabled on
 each reboot. My guess would be more folks would want that on than off,
 thus why I picked it by default in the first case.

 For daemondo, that could entirely be my inexperience with OSX showing! I
 was just following the macports guide
 (https://guide.macports.org/chunked/reference.startupitems.html) on how to
 set things up. If there's a better way to do things, I'd be all ears!

 In case it's helpful to you, you can unload a startupitem roughly as
 follows:
 {{{
 sudo launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u $(whoami))
 /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macports.yabai.plist
 }}}
