Might an UPDATING entry be appropriate for a MINIMAL_PKG_VERSION bump?

But in order for them to be built, you need to have updated
ports-mgmt/pkg ahead of time, or this kind of thing happens:

| ...

| linking kernel.full
| ctfmerge -L VERSION -g -o kernel.full ...

Hence my query: Is an UPDATING entry warranted when MINIMAL_PKG_VERSION is
bumped?
