What is the use of specifying the 'r' switch when using the 'a'
switch?

# portupgrade -ar

This says to upgrade all ports plus the ones that depend on all
those ports.  Am I missing something?  Wouldn't "the ones that
depend" be upgraded anyway?

I understand the reasoning behind using the 'R' switch with 'a'
since there may be new ports that are not installed that are
required by upgradeable ports.
