Which, in a sense, is why `port upgrade outdated` doesn't do that for you :)

That, or there could be `port active outdated` vs. `port installed outdated` 
commands? As far as I'm concerned, the confusion stems mostly from the fact 
that a successful `port upgrade outdated` doesn't silence the output from `port 
outdated`, and one way to solve that is to remove the outdated action and 
oblige users to specify what they actually want to know.
