The point is to abstract away the chaotic (miniscule input difference,
major difference in result) differences along the various dimensions of
port upgrading tools and local database management tools.

I don't think a textual description for UPDATING would have been much

around-ten-step upgrade...

And people WILL have multiple db4* versions on their typical system
unless they manipulated /etc/make.conf.
