What does "shadow" mean? The name of a portfile in your local ports tree is the same as one in the default ports tree?
What does "updated" mean? That the port of this name in the default ports tree has a newer modification date than the one in your local tree? Note that just because we update a port doesn't mean we've included whatever change you have in your local tree.

Yes, that's what "shadow" and "updated" mean.
Yes, I know it doesn't mean you've included the change. However, at least I could check, if you warned me. What I don't want to happen is that my port stays out-of-date indefinitely because I don't know that improvements have been happening upstream.

I'd just like to add that this is especially a problem when dependencies are involved.
