We don't do such a thing for modules like go or rust either that
sometimes pull in hundreds of distfiles from different projects. I'm
not saying don't do that, but this doesn't need to be prescribed in the
guide. People may do that at their own discretion, as long as it
doesn't interfere with the readability and maintainability of the
port...
