The relevance of notes depends on the context. You might not want to see it during a upgrade, but an explicit 'port notes' on the installed port should always show everything. You could still edit the notes in a post-activate phase (at least with trunk), which could work when you just want to clear all notes. But editing a specific section or sentence out of it would be difficult... > Not sure what to do about the "port select" notes though.

I am not sure if we really need the difference between "unset" and the explicit "none" select, but it could be implemented.
