The tools the FreeBSD project has available to keep a system up to date and secure are great (cvsup, portupgrade, make release, buildworld) and for a seasoned UNIX admin this is more than enough, but to expend this effort to assist the newer users to FreeBSD is a "good thing". Thanks to all who are working on this point release, hopefully this will reduce the number of insecure "out of the box" installs, and further enhance the image of FreeBSD as IMHO "The Best True UNIX" for both the experienced hackers and the people who have just started on this path.
