I really don't like that approach, because it's a documentation and
since it's fetcheble no one will assume that it's the outdated version.
It's better to remove that port at all.

If you think that it should be done in that way, go ahead...

I'm little disappointed, I updated that port to the current state
because having local documentation is always quicker then reading the
remote version. But It's just a waste of time doing updates like that.
It's better to read the remote version then.

My proposal is that: let's update it now, then we'll see how often it'll
require attention. Too often means removing the port.
