set port not to upgrade

[Carlo Tambuatco]

An even better feature would be a custom marking procedure that would allow a user to “label” certain ports such as mysetofvideoports or mysetoftexteditors or whatever and then allow port actions to ignore or perform 
operations on just those sets. You could then create your own custom blacklist or whitelist or whatever.

The only label that I know of right now is setrequested and unsetrequested.
