Though this was probably not the best commit to make an example of, an
example 'why' may have been something like:

Since this port was copied from py-xdot in ports r466039 and will no
longer receive updates within its minor version branch, ignore portscout
updates, as 0.7 will show up, which only applies to the main
(un-versioned-suffixed) port, and that's annoying.

Having said that, what *if* a new 0.6 is released (say a major bugfix or
security vulnerability), might it be better to match only 0.6.x versions
with 'limit regex' [1] rather than disable it entirely.
