I am ok with switching the documentation to portmaster, but i am against marking it DEPRECATED. I have been using portupdate for 10 years and it works for all my usecases. Switching to portmaster means i have to learn new -options and new error messages. Unless there is a killer feature in portmaster i don't see a reason to switch.
