However on a stable system you are probably not upgrading your
ports every day.
And even if you're upgrading the ports. I'm using FreeBSD for 5
years now, and I never encountered problems caused by inaccurate
commits, because most of the time those errors are fixed very
quickly.
Most errors I get from ports are caused by outdated dependency
conflicts, not by committers or maintainers mistake.
