OK, on two occasions now, I've been burned by portupgrade.  First when
doing a "portsclean -C", when I assumed that held packages would not have
their work dirs cleaned, and then again, when I did a "portupgrade -f" on a
number of packages, and a held package was included in the list 
accidentally, both times resulting in the loss of some customizations I had
done.

Is there any chance of adding a switch or some other sort of functionality
that will tell portupgrade and friends that "I *really* want this package
held; don't touch it under any circumstances"?

Seems this would be a useful thing to have.
