I see opencv2 as > orphaned, so I can't stay there. graphics/opencv has only 28 consumers which isn't that "large". I didn't document the rename in r438490 because: - no manual/special steps required (for pkg, poudriere and, probably, synth) - r423216 wasn't documented as well - partial upgrades were never supported (e.g. /quarterly packages + /head ports) - PORTREVISION was bumped to help tools that don't (or incompletely) respect MOVED > Do I reset the origin of opencv2 to opencv?

If portmaster is such a special snowflake that requires multiplying copypasta in UPDATING for every rename that has > 1 consumer it should be documented it in the Porter's Handbook. Another issue with portmaster is it makes committers (over)think skipping PORTREVISION bumps like in 20170411 or 20150919 is safe only to screw up pkg-upgrade(8) as changed ABI doesn't propagate to consumers.
