It is has been pointed out to me that my meaning here is unclear.
I will attempt to clarify:
openbsd.org says:
The ports tree is meant for advanced users.
Everyone is encouraged to use the pre-compiled binary packages.
I do not imply that openbsd.org recommends waiting for the next release
and not patching software.
A better statement would possibly have been:
Is it not worth it to update ports in this way; meaning,
is it better to simply wait for OpenBSD6.3 and stick with
binary packages?
The openbsd.org site says:
The ports tree is meant for advanced users.
Everyone is encouraged to use the pre-compiled
binary packages.
I'm looking for the advice of those more experienced than myself.
