You have suggested "binary", but that's actually more subtle. There can be

binaries for which source is available, e.g. openoffice from oo.org
binaries built as part of pkgsrc ("make bin-install")
Then, there's the issue of whether the feature is useful enough to
justify the maintenance headache. Do you think there are a lot of
people who are willing to add many non-free licenses to
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES but who are unware that software with icky licenses
often comes as binary only?
Yes, i'm aware of type of binaries you mentioned, but "make install" (not make-bin-install) simply installs a binary package by only accepting terms of license.
Well, you assume, only high-skill people use netbsd... is this really true?
