I am not a native english speaker, and perhaps therefore
"To uninstall all installed but inactive ports, use -u."
sounded to me like "uninstall -u" would remove everything except
inactive ports. Needless to say, that I never used this crazy command.
Perhaps it would not harm to make the description more clear to non-
native speakers. How about:
"To uninstall all installed inactive ports, use -u."
