So, the flip side of enterprise software management is that you probably
should not be integrating a rolling release like ports into what is
supposed to be a stable verified environment in the first place.
*Especially* not via cron jobs with no supervision. At the very least, your
jails should be working from a local ports tree (or packages via
poudriere), with cherry-picking of locally tested patches.
