Actually that Guide text was written by Marko:

https://trac.macports.org/changeset/76822

Later, I wrote this PortfileRecipes entry, without realizing that Marko had already written in the Guide:

https://trac.macports.org/wiki/PortfileRecipes#replaced-by

https://trac.macports.org/wiki/PortfileRecipes?action=diff&version=24&old_version=23

https://trac.macports.org/wiki/PortfileRecipes?action=diff&version=25&old_version=24

So the texts are similar but independent.
