That's a tough question -- you wouldn't want users to miss the notes,
either.

Implementation is in port/port.tcl. The call that prints the notes is in
process_cmd, line 4685: portclient::notifications::display.
Unfortunately that part that prints the error message is in $action_proc
called a few lines before, so it's not trivial to switch.
