If you do upgrade to -current and wish to use ports, which isn't
actually useful for anything unless you are either working on NEW or
UPDATED ports, You will have to keep /usr/ports in sync with whatever
-current you are running. DO NOT update to ports that do not match
exactly which -current you are running!
This is because ports which are compiled need to match what the system
is running.
OpenBSD runs as a unit, not a collection such as Linux does.
Running as a single unit makes for a huge security and bug improvement.
The other reason to use ports is for a few ports that are not available
in packages, such as msttcorefonts.
