Comment(by registrera@…):

 Replying to [comment:8 ryandesign@…]:
 > It's not appropriate for software installed with MacPorts to have its
 own automatic updater. MacPorts is the method by which software installed
 with MacPorts should be updated. If the port is outdated, its maintainer
 should update it.

 Ok. That makes sense for libraries that can be relocated and isolated
 under the /opt/local-prefix. As this comes out, it's just a policy that
 can't be enforced. Other applications will update MacFuse through the
 official and endorsed automatic updater regardless of what is appropriate
 to us. It would be great if the port always was up to date, but it won't
 happen.

 Sticking to this policy will make it difficult to use and rely on any
 port-libraries that depend on MacFuse.
