As an user, I didn't like it at first, because a 'make World' 
with a customized host.def was really easier compared to 
starting 7.1 from scratch, where I had to compile about 100 
packages, in their right order, looking at each configure for 
any hidden options (hopefully, for all I compiled, only libX11 
and xorg-server had additional options), and so on. Not to 
mention that I bet all configure runs alone take much longer 
than a 'make depend'. Another problem was the lack of various 
packages in the "7.1" directory, which I got from "individual".

But when I had it done, it was really easy to upgrade to newer 
packages, released after 7.1, so I approve it.
