#46229: Uninstalling all active ports - are you sure?

 Yesterday I inadvertently ran

 "port uninstall active"

 when I was trying to run

 "port uninstall inactive"

 I managed to kill the job before 25% of the installed ports were
 uninstalled and it has taken me several hours to reinstall all the ports.
 I was wondering if it would be possible to provide a warning to the user
 "Are you sure you want to uninstall all active ports?" (or something
 similar) as I am sure others have made this bone-headed mistake at some
 point.

 Macports is an amazing creation and I thank the developers for their hard
 work.  This additional feature would make it just that much more amazing
 :)
