Mesa upstream appears to release new minor version every ~3 months. If 18.3=
.*
doesn't land in ports early 2019Q1 its QA is likely to intersect with 18.4.0
(or 19.0.0). Part of QA is whatching bugzilla/lists/etc for regressions aft=
er
landing, reported by users experienced enough to switch to /latest. Besides,
doing updates in small/incremental steps is easier than waiting then skippi=
ng
over versions which increases the risk and complicates regression tracking.

Similar to Intel, depends on the kernel driver: radeonkms (legacy) is proba=
bly
under the most risk. Otherwise, see

> it works well with the latest drm-kmod modules

drm-stable-kmod is probably more important:
- selected by drm-kmod for 11.2 or /stable/11
- working SNA on xf86-video-intel[1]
- working Vulkan on AMD[2] and partially working on Intel[3]
