You're thinking about only two?  ;-)

Thoughts on having a third special one that is much more visible that
lists security fixes?  Speaking with my day job hat on I'm not *real*
interested in constantly updating ports on lots of machines, I tend
to do it at OS release times.  But I'm much more interested in knowing
when security issues in ports get addressed, for example the recent
screen(1) issue.

Sorry, just a thought.  :-(
