but if you are really concerned about security, pretty much your only hope is to either run -CURRENT or track the security updates and backport them yourself.

My advice to you would be to just follow -STABLE.

So, it follows that your advice would be to not be really concerned about security?

Most people who use OpenBSD are probably doing so at least in part because they are very concerned about security. Doesn't that make this disconnect curious, to say the least?

This thread doesn't inspire any more confidence in -stable ports than I have gained from the documentation, which has led me to conclude that I should generally compile and manage my own software on OpenBSD. A "stable" branch is generally understood to mean "critical security patches only", not "unmaintained" ...
