My point of view is that it blurs the distinction between base system
and local extensions. It surely is convient, but I often scratch my
head when I find empty directories on my system. Don't you start to
wonder what those directories exist for?
Back to the given example of mounting ports into multiple jails,
wouldn't you normally have the ports tree only in one jail and use that
for all building? The dinoex scripts come to my mind.
