However, this leaves a gap when software that is installed as part of the base system, like bind, has upgrade releases that occur more frequently than the -STABLE releases. What's the common resolution to this situation? I'm concerned about potential compatibility issues if I remove/ignore the -STABLE version by using rc.conf to point at a port/package version. TIA.
