Ok, sorry, not making the right point here.

MOVED is sufficient in the way that we don't need to announce this to the
mailing lists. portupgrade and portmaster read it, and take care of doing
the right translations.

It leaves people who don't have /usr/ports because they use binary
upgrades, sending emails won't help pkg figure out what to do in that case,
but it's a topic for another day.
