New description:

 In its +docs variant, which is on by default, libavif depends on pandoc to
 produce its documentation. pandoc is a heavy dependency because it depends
 on ghc and ultimately over 500 other ports. gd2 is included in its
 recursive dependencies which means that gd2 cannot enable its libavif
 support.

 Please don't enable the +docs variant by default. Alternately, move the
 documentation to a libavif-docs subport.

 This was previously mentioned in #69332, #69566,  and #70546.

Comment (by ryandesign):

 Reworded because libavif already has a +docs variant.
