.... I did a 'portsnap fetch update' This A.M.:


[root@kabini1, /etc, 10:33:58am] 366 % portsnap fetch update
Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 7 mirrors found.
Fetching snapshot tag from your-org.portsnap.freebsd.org... done.

Updating from Wed Mar 30 15:47:21 MCDT 2016 to Tue Apr 19 10:21:43 MCDT

It brought down almost 14K updates for 3-ish weeks .... I know the ports 
effort is a feverish hive of productivity, but that sounded a bit high 
:-) .... Is that number anomalous, maybe coincident w/ new quarter, 
something else ? More question than problem, but curious. TIA & have a 
good one.
