No, I also use make index because historically there were significantly 
fewer error messages. I think someone almost got hysterical from 
surprise a short time ago when portsdb -U completed with out a single 
message. 

My attitude is that if Kris' script ran portsdb -U, then I would use it 
everytime I cvsup ports-all instead of using make index.
