<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">Ok then: which one of the two switches is the unsafe one? I guess the <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);border-radius:3px;display:inline;background-color:rgb(248,248,248)">-f</code>? Or has the combination of the two even more damage potential?</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">I started to make it a habit using them, because <em>so often</em> the upgrade does not run through to continue with a few hundred other packages because of just one or two or three packages fail… And this requires me to restart the upgrade every so often, with a changed list of package names.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">If the <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);border-radius:3px;display:inline;background-color:rgb(248,248,248)">-f</code> (or the combo of <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);border-radius:3px;display:inline;background-color:rgb(248,248,248)">-pf</code>) is indeed so terribly unsafe as you say (I do not doubt your statement, even though I do not understand the reason for it), then there should be at least one of the following:</p>
<ol style="margin:1.2em 0px;padding-left:2em">
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">Add a warning (including the reason for it) to the port manpage.</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">Emit a warning on the command line, whenever this option is used.</li>
</ol>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">Currently none of the two is present. So do not wonder, if (some of the few) users who read man pages also make use of it :)</p>
