I feel smarter just reading that
What I _really_ don't understand is why he thinks he has to upgrade an OS to
upgrade a port. Must be something I haven't RTFM'd yet. I'll Google..., and
search the Handbook for possible explanation(s). Maybe I can learn
something. :-)
Of course he doesn't, but even having to do the x.org upgrade (which he
is probably unaware of) can be considered painful as indicated in
another thread, and having to do it to be able to use a newer browser,
at least when it has security fixes, could certainly be considered
"stupid". I know, I know, FreeBSD doesn't have the manpower to maintain
branches of the ports tree, but sometimes it would really be nice...
