If most FreeBSD users are like me, you should set up an include list
instead. Then, it could actually be sort of useful. Most people would
use it to auto-upgrade packages for beta and other unstable software.
However, I think that an /etc/periodic/weekly script that reports on
which packages are outdated in the weekly report would be a much more
welcome utility ;)
