For my desktop needs I would normally want binary releases. However I 
like the freedom to upgrade to whatever I want, and the ability to tweak 
my "upgrade" scenario with things like switching gcc/clang, or 
customizing the kernel.

I think I can replace csup with freebsd-update/portsnap pair for 
upgrading the src and ports trees only, and still be able to build 
everything from sources.
