I wish you wouldn't indiscriminately use the -f (force) flag all the

made the default. In particular it should only be needed for "port -f
uninstall inactive". It should not be needed for clean, and the only
times it would be needed for upgrade are in unusual situations, which
you would probably want to handle by hand individually rather than
automate.
I non-concur on this: I think -f should be the default on upgrades (if you don't mean it, don't ask for it). It's confusing, in case the regular flow of questions on this hasn't made clear. Ideally, you wouldn't need any flags: port upgrade foo would Just Work. I would put clean in a central config file as well: I suspect this isn't done on a port by port basis.
