I agree, regular updates should be an advantage we gain from the new ports. We do need
to be ever diligent though, for example our damageproto and xserver seem to be out of sync
such that when using a mesagl app it will error out. So, I think the best course of action
is regular minor updates, but done cautiously.

Otherwise, why am I waiting 8 hours for pkg_create to finish?
