To be even more precise, they need a guarantee that automatic updates will not break anything so that it could be put to cron like "apt-cron". This goal could be satisfied by another means, I hope: FreeBSD developers unlikely to have enough time/efforts to keep it for *all* -RELEASE branches, but for only chosen ones (e.g. extended security support) - may be. -- WBR, Vadim Goncharov.
