Dear FreeBSD Community, First of all, I would like to assure everyone that this is not a complaint and that I would simply like to offer a useful idea for the future of FreeBSD. Could we please start using the minor version numbers in package repositories? This would be conducive to having stable reproducible jail builds. I know that the canonical answer to this is "build/copy your own packages tree" but, in the age when storage is so extremely cheap, do we really need to put everyone through this torture? Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please help me to understand what would be necessary to make this happen or if this is perhaps something that is already on your radar? Looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, -- Stanislawhelp
