Nothing was written about this in UPDATING. Please consider > this message a request to mention it. It would be more appropriate in MOVED rather than UPDATING.

If there were, *then* I'd expect an entry in UPDATING. > What if I want to upgrade to www/mediawiki-120? Should I do that afterward? You should do that *instead* if you want it. Upgrade instructions from upstream are included, and the port will point you at them.
