Sorry...yes, that comment is indeed in my stable-supfile. However: I would just like to point out that, as I said, I have used this very same supfile to rebuild my ports tree, and more than once to update src-all, without it wiping ports-all. No need to speculate why, I suppose...I stand corrected. Thank you.
