Hello,

Why is the upgrade procedure recommended to be

portupgrade -R <package>

instead of 

portupgrade -r <package> ?

If -R is "Act on all those packages required by the given packages as well."
isn't it more important to rebuild the packages that depend on the package
being rebuilt, ala -r?

Thanks,
Mike
