 I just run an update all ports (and it is, after six hours, not finished).
 So far it has generated 2836 lines of output, without verbose output being
 enabled.

 A couple of times during these six hours/3000 lines there has been output
 such as


 {{{
 To use bash_completion, add the following lines at the end of your
 .bash_profile:
   if [ -f /opt/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh ]; then
       . /opt/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh
   fi
 The port bash-completion >=2.0 requires bash >=4.1; please make sure
 you are using /opt/local/bin/bash by changing the preferences of your
 terminal accordingly. If your version of bash is too old, the script
 above will not modify your shell environment and no extended completion
 will be available.

 }}}


 I guess I don't need to explain why it is easy to fail to notice this,
 usually quite important and useful, information.

 I think all information like this should be output (repeated) at the end
 of install, upgrade, whatever process so I know how to activate bash
 completions, select which version of Python to use etc.
