However, it is totally within your control have a script monitor every port that you build for changes in options. You could even run it as a poudriere hook. There are hundreds of maintainers; you aren't going to reach all of them even if they all *all* agree with this suggestion. (I don't think I do. How long do I have to keep this non-option broken? 1 month? 1 year? forever? too much trouble.)
