Right.  I meant going -stable will "lift me out of binary ports
[support]".

So the verdict is to hunt down OpenOffice packages manually and
install them so that portupgrade ignores them, then go from there.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/
seems to have what `portupgrade -P` should expect, right?

So I wouldn't have to move from stable to release+sec.
