Yes, that indicator will still be there.
It's more that I (and millions of users) at my own machines
don't have to remove /usr/ports/distfiles/awk.tar.gz anymore before
I can upgrade this port: the make will automaticly fetch the new
version once it has been commited in the ports-system because the
directory/file doesn't exist yet.
