--- Comment #3 from Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> ---
I'm not portmgr anymore, so I would share what was discussed long ago.

While it is true portmaster and portupgrade are still in ports, none of them
are still in active maintenance. We discussed a lot between portmgr about
removing portmaster/portupgrade from the handbook.

Beside some drawbacks of those tools which yes could be documented as
"pro/cons" for true, no active maintenance is also a problem regarding some
evolution that are planned in the ports tree for very long: subpackages and
alternative/flavours. which will break the design around which portupgrade =
and
portmaster are built: a port is unique via its origin.

portmaster took years to catch up on pkg_install -> pkg transition (portupg=
rade
was a bit faster to catch up due to active maintenance from bdrewery on
portupgrade at the time).

I would vote on removing documentation of both tools in the handbook
