Yes. Philip P. had requested to let clusteradm know "if the
notes don't appear to reflect reality". I did that once I
got general internet access back.

Since there are no detailed criteria for the categorizations,
they may well consider a subset of what I reported as
appropriate to deal with. That is part of why I listed
versions (or "-") and dates (when available).

> As opposed to FreshPorts needs to do something.

I just used Freshports to find the time frames for ports-mgmt/pkg.
I did not run into any oddities when I did so. It gives a good
way to occasionally manually check on the status of the notes.

So, more background information for you than anything.
