I'm ambivalent about that, since the way I personally tend to use
+IGNOREME is to avoid dealing with something till I'm ready to update
it, and then I generally want the +IGNOREME file to go away. I would
think that at minimum it should look both places. Also, I'm a little
more sympathetic to this idea now that portmaster does a better job of
letting the user know that there is an +IGNOREME file present at
various decision making points.
