Tools like portupgrade and portmaster and even the ports system are
great but they have their limitations. I think they are kept relatively
simple for a reason. It's much better to have a simple (maintainable)
tool that does 95% of the jobs well than to build an extremely
complicated ACME contraption that can cover all the corner cases and
oddball situations. It's just not worth the effort.

As portmaster author, this precisely describes my perspective.
