Do you agree that this situation is a bad look for an *operating system* ?
Having to depend on a third-party tool to stay up-to-date and secure.

In multiple locations it is said that installing a port is *at your own 
risk*. Personally, I'd like the official updating tool to have had the 
same level of analysis (and so the same level of "risk") on it as the base OS, 
(and also be under the same licence).

I mean, shouldn't all the basic tools be present in an OS, at least in 
order to update it? And *then* migrate to the update method?

A mistake then and a mistake now with svn to git IMO.
