Not to mention it's easier said than done to recompile all packages since I have a hard enough time trying to figure out and keep track of all ports than have been updated or has changes committed. It would be easy if it was a dozen packages or the entire ports collection but if it's only 1,000 packages, recompiling them will take forever assuming you ever know which packages are installed.
