When disabling an option makes sense - (sometimes) when a feature should only be enabled in certain situations (only on some archs), when it makes sense that some people might want to disable an option (minimalism is not a reason).
Applying patches in minimalist software should be left to the user, I don't think we should wrap that in xbps-src options and keep it up to date.

Sometimes it makes sense to have an option to avoid a big dependency, but then it's usually better to split part of the package to a subpackage (ffmpeg, ffplay).
