Please don't restart this flamewar. When we have a better installer, then it may be possible in the future to select between multiple mailers (for example), but nobody is going to rip out widely-used functionality because someone has a pet peeve. (And yes, this *is* just a pet peeve; if it were not, you'd see people complaining about ntpd, ipfilter, pnpinfo, etc. instead.) Check the archives. As far as security updates are concerned, keep in mind that base system components are actually *better* supported by the FreeBSD security officer than are ports. If you really want the ports version of something, put the appropriate NO_* option in your make.conf and install the ports version instead.
