I used to install from source most of the time, and updates seemed to be required to be from source. But now it's just from source or nothing. I want pkgng to help deal with some of the cruft that ends up occurring when installing ports that have a lot of dependencies. What's really annoying to me is that a clean install cluster, so presumably secure, could probably rebuild the whole ports tree in the time it's taken to get something available.
