That's not a good argument. Having to install a package on every machine is
a pain.
What I do here for our student room is that I set up properly a machine
and then use rdist - this allows me to do even binary upgrades very easily,
and I have a centralised base for all these ~30 machines.
The result is that /usr/pkg is not shared, but it looks like it was.
