Comment (by c.herbig@…):

 A downside with using notes is that they don't show up in port info NAME,
 so if the user misses the notes section after it is installed, they might
 not know how to get back to see what it was.  This can happen when they
 are installing a chain of ports and the notes gets buried behind a lot of
 other messages, like the way that the notes for dbus do.
