 macports has a policy on this sort of thing?

 startupitem.autostart  should be used very rarely (see also this thread
 https://lists.macports.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2013-August/023788.html).

 > 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.

 An end user would just need to run `port load` once if they wanted it to
 always run.
