Fine by me. I've never actually used -u, with -d (or the equivalent
portmaster.rc setting) it's usually fine for unattended runs. The only
annoyance is the question about building interactive ports that don't
actually require any interaction (bacula comes to mind), since this is
the only question in the config phase that's not cached, but this is
probably the port maintainers fault for marking it interactive (it does
remind me of "no keyboard present, press F1 to continue").
