Oh yeah, this *is* definately better. Just tried it.
The first reason being is that it removes the chance of forgetting the 
'-x' and walking away, but I was also delighted with this output:
---> Skipping 'editors/openoffice-1.1' because it is held by user 
(specify -f to force)

Which makes it nice to remember it's still there, and when the port gets 
fixed for 5.3, I'll be reminded to try again at some point.

Cheers,
