I suppose that implies that the previous portsnap snapshots couldn't be
[completely] trusted. Basically I wanted to know whether I had to go
through all the ports I've updated from the snapshots within the given
time frame and to a portupgrade --force on them. In the end I decided
yes (luckily it's only on a single box)
