Thank you for working on the instructions.

However, I doubt that users will actually read these instructions before
upgrading their OS. Quite the contrary, the port command will link to
this wiki page when it detects that the OS was upgraded. I would expect
this to be the most common case when users will come to this wiki page,
so I think the instructions should focus on that. Right now the steps
start with what they should have done before upgrading their OS, which
is not helpful in this situation.

What was the reason to move the steps for saving the installed/requested
ports to the top?
