Yes, because you are supposed to rebuild INDEX after every cvsup of 
ports-all. If you pick and choose the port collection, you will 
probably break "make index" and then the upate tools won't work as you 
would expect. Since you are going to rebuild INDEX or INDEX-5 after 
each cvsup, refusing it prevents cvsup from redownloading it. It takes 
several minutes to download even across a 100Mbps networkd.

If you use portupgrade, you also have to run "portsdb -u" after you 
create and updated INDEX.
