Has there ever been discussion of a slower-moving Ports set for FreeBSD that only gets security updates? That would be a nice middle ground between the glacial progress of RHEL Yum packages and the -CURRENT like Ports as it is right now.

The only thing stopping that is manpower. We don’t have it. Please feel free to join the ports team and scratch that itch. However, we already have enough architectural work ahead of us and PRs to sift through that it probably isn’t feasible at this point in time.
