Ah okay. I thought this was separate from OPTIONS.Then maybe:

The right set of OPTIONS is the one that provides the most benefit to the most users. The goal should not necessarily be the minimum that lets the port build, nor should it necessarily be enabling every possible option. The same holds true for ports that are capable of building with a variety of dependencies. Allow the “right” set to change over time as users provide feedback about features they need or features they never use.”

Ok. So, my concern here is that (a) I don't know what an "extra dependency" looks like, and (b) sometimes the configuration that would benefit the most people is the minimal or maximal set.

Maybe try:

When a port is capable of building with a variety of dependencies, the correct dependency list is the one that provides the most benefit to the most users. The goal should not be the minimum set that lets the port build, nor should it be the set that includes every possible dependency.  Allow the "right" set to change over time as users provide feedback about features they need or features they never use.
