Obsolete files remain after building and installing FreeBSD from source

SirDice, I am writing from my smartphone and I don't have access to my laptop right now. I took pictures of less /etc/src.conf in case it was needed :)
I have them on my gallery, how do I post them?
 
I'm more interested in seeing the file itself. The thing to watch out for are things like this:
Code: 
WITHOUT_SENDMAIL=yes
<further down>
WITH_SENDMAIL=no
Especially the WITH_SENDMAIL=no throws people off. It doesn't matter what's being assigned to the variable, its contents is never checked. The mere fact that a WITH_* variable is defined is enough to overrule the equivalent WITHOUT_* variable.

And it's also possible you have included something else that actually depends on the things you're trying to remove.
 
Code: 
WITHOUT_ACCT=yes
WITHOUT_AMD=yes
WITHOUT_ASSERT_DEBUG=yes
WITHOUT_ATM=yes
WITHOUT_AUDIT=yes
WITHOUT_AUTHPF=yes

WITHOUT_WPA_SUPPLICANT_EAPOL=yes
WITHOUT_ZFS=yes
WITH_SVN=yes
 
Code: 
WITHOUT_CDDL=yes
You may need CDDL for CTF (Compact C Type Format) to compile the base, and kernel modules. It may be possible to build around it.

As for
Code: 
WITHOUT_KERBEROS=yes
WITHOUT_KERBEROS_SUPPORT=yes
when you build certain ports, you'll have to choose an option that uses the equivalent from ports.

This sounds somewhat counterintuitive to me.
Shouldn't be WITH_*=no interpreted as WITHOUT_*=yes (and vice versa), and the last such assignment be valid?

If such a fix by (un)defining just one (instead of two) variable would be possible, what could it potentially break?
Wouldn't it be better to make the thing a bit less counterintuitive, if that does not damage nothing?

Because, in my layman's thinking such a change could prevent some grief and wasted time for people who haven't yet reached guru level...
(I apologize for asking a so naive question.)

I know it's counter-intuitive, that's why I mentioned it. And as I said, it doesn't matter what the contents of the variables are. So WITH_FOO=no is treated the same as WITH_FOO=yes and WITH_FOO=something. The only thing that's checked is the existence of the variable.
