What are you talking about? I run 4-STABLE, no message in UPDATING! I
do not find any reason that I need to monitor ports@ or to read CVS
commit messages, unless you have chosen to create a brand-new
requirement out of whole cloth that says that I need to monitor ports@
all of a sudden.

If you make a change like this in a standard gnome application, you need
to at least mention it on the gnome@ list or somehow make it a
requirement that everyone who monitors gnome@ no has to *also* monitor
ports@.
