No I haven't had the time really. It's a minor annoyance in the grand
scheme of things. I generally just manually override SUPHOST if it
doesn't work.

Indeed, it makes updating a system really easy. Also I prefer csup over
cvsup because it doesn't rely on a stack of dependencies that are
otherwise unused on my systems.
