This is EXACTLY the reason that we need to ADVERTISE the NEW UPDATING
file much more!  I encountered another problem which had an entry in
/usr/ports/UPDATING, but since I completely missed the months-old
announcement of the creationof the file, I never looked there and got
yelled at my many, many people for my supposed stupidity!

We need to have a regular announcement on -CURRENT, -STABLE and all
ports-related newsgroups that /usr/ports/UPDATING exists and needs to be
looked at regularly!  Just because someone created it many months ago
does not mean that everyone knows about it!
