Well, this really should he done, to ensure that users can install ports
without being blocked by this.
With the caveat that both should be segregated, otherwise it's a major
pain to ensure that the wrong one isn't accidentally used.
We've done it for numerous others - the selection of `libfmtXX` ports, for
example - and it's not that difficult. Just a bit tedious.
