@sampsyo I feel that you defently would like to adjust wording :) |

Seems good, but let's keep the Homebrew thing first… that is, list the text beginning "11 (BigSur) includes…" first. Then, the next sentence can say, like, "There's also a MacPorts port. Just run…"
Also, I'm not entirely sure what "all 3rd party plugins" means… there are a lot of third-party plugins out there! Do you mean all dependencies for the included (first-party) plugins, perhaps?

@sampsyo I mean that almost all plugins from Other Plugins are included as dedicated port and beets-full installs all of them. With all dependencies. Technically speaking I've added 25 ports which include 22 3rd party plugins,beets, beets-devel (the master branch) and beets-full (install everything).
I've done it because I'm using some of this plugins, and it seems fair to package them all. Special that adding them wasn't so hard. Ok, adding all python dependencies was, but it is another story :)

Incredible! Well, maybe I'd just say "lots of third-party plugins" or something to sidestep the potential confusion around claiming "all". 😃
