I use portinstall/portupgrade, and it does not provide a knob for this
change. I could install 'the traditional way' I suppose, but then there
is still no knob provided for those who don't wish to do that.

If Philip feels, and no-one else chimes in to the contrary, that no
increase to the default is necessary, that's fine. I just wanted to be
sure the issue was aired and that anyone who had come across it and
wondered before got a chance to speak up so we know what the common
feeling is.
