I'll probably get flamed for this but since I've been using

two quite major changes and not had any problems that haven't been
down to an individual ports.
You still need to read UPDATING, portmanager handles some of the issues
automatically, but not all.
that durned human element again!
would be nice if a port upgrade tool did that for you, displayed any
entries related to ports that need updating, and gave you a chance to
postpone the update until you've taken whatever actions UPDATING
suggests
would require UPDATING to be written in a consistent, machine-readable
format
