It is not just about updates but about new installs too - if you have dozens of machines for customers and you need them all in the same version. Then some customer need some package not installed on his machine and you cannot run "pkg install somepackage" because then you will end up with upgrade of already installed packages (dependencies) before new package from current quaterly branch is installed. (I do not use this scheme, but I understand the environment where somebody needs frozen pkg repo for much longer time than 3 months) Miroslav Lachman
