You're right, it's a wish list. But it does not touch portupgrade directly.
portupgrade tools does not build own INDEX (does it portmanager?), It
use a ready one. It's possible to implement, but it's not a purpose to
grow the tools up. Moreover, building own INDEX is a long time process.
I think nobody likes if it'll be rebuild every time you refresh the
ports tree.
