I don't see why it would. It wouldn't eliminate the config screens - 
many, if not most, of the existing options couldn't be handled like
that.

I find the config screens to be a useful way of keeping on top of new
functionality, and it's pretty trivial to get them out of the way at
the start of an upgrade. All that's really needed is to add this
feature (that portmaster already has) to portupgrade.

What I've found to be a more awkward problem is ports with interactive
deinstall scripts.
