No, it does not.
"-f" is the old "-f"; "-R" is the old "-R"; no way it can behave now 
like it did before when no such option was passed.

Thanks, but this is not quite it.
Aside from being IMHO a very bad idea, this is still different from the 
old behavior and will deinstall many more ports, leaving several 
unsatisfied dependencies (just tryed it now).
Again, at the very minumum, the user should be warned of the POLA violation.
