.... I did a 'portsnap fetch update' This A.M.:


[root at kabini1, /etc, 10:33:58am] 366 % portsnap fetch update
Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 7 mirrors found.
Fetching snapshot tag from your-org.portsnap.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching snapshot metadata... done.
Updating from Wed Mar 30 15:47:21 MCDT 2016 to Tue Apr 19 10:21:43 MCDT 
2016.
Fetching 4 metadata patches... done.
Applying metadata patches... done.
Fetching 4 metadata files... done.
Fetching 13922 
patches.....10....20....30....40....50....60....70....80....90....100....110....120....130....140....150....160....170....180....190....200....210....2


It brought down almost 14K updates for 3-ish weeks .... I know the ports 
effort is a feverish hive of productivity, but that sounded a bit high 
:-) .... Is that number anomalous, maybe coincident w/ new quarter, 
something else ? More question than problem, but curious. TIA & have a 
good one.
