I believe, the quarter-yearly =E2=80=9Ecuts=E2=80=9C of the ports-tree =
are supposed to be that.

I have no idea, however, how fast and plenty updates are coming to this =
branch.

I there a mailing-list only for commits to that particular branch?

I don=E2=80=99t want mails with all commits to the whole ports-tree=E2=80=A6=
.

I run my own poudriere server and if I really need a security-update, I =
copy the stuff over from my =E2=80=9Ecurrent=E2=80=9C tree that follows =
head.

Ideally, I would just need to run a svn update - but I=E2=80=99d like to =
know in advance what has changed=E2=80=A6
