Security Patches for Port Applications in Releases

Hello list,

I installed the new release 6.2 on my workstation. I installed also 
portaudit 
and run it immediatly afterwards. What have I to see? 5 vulnerable 
packages 
in my release.

My questions:
- Why can I update FreeBSD with security-patches and the 
Release-Packages have 
no security-patches?
- What are then the advantages of release-packages/ports to 
current-ports if I 
can not update release-packages with security-patches?
- Is an security-patch-update-system for release-packages/ports planned?

With regards
Stevan Tiefert
