That makes sense, but I sometimes do things like `port livecheck installed` or `port livecheck rdepof:someport` to check for any ports that might need updating, especially nomaintainer ones. That wouldn't work if subports don't have livechecks. I'm not sure that's an important case to support, but I thought I'd mention it. Dan -- Dan R. K.
