I have only seen OBSD's Theo say users should use binary packages, but I 
always assumed that this applied to all projects.

Ports are great for changing config and install options, pkgs are what 
you're meant to use by default.

 From that my attitude is use pkgs unless you have to use ports.  You'd 
agree, Okan?
