im curious to know if you are referring to taking your fresh install of 6.2, 
and doing something like say:

pkg_add -r kde

and watching it install kde-3.5.4 ??  or perhaps it was some other package, 
but the point is that the packages-6.2-release folder does not hold the same 
things as package-6-stable folder.

or.. what exactly are you referring to, as being out of date?

cheers,
