Thank you very much Mark, I was definitely hoping to get community feedback on this, and I value you voicing your opinion. I agree that kports is a mammoth, and also that a system updater GUI should have a way to notify the user of new updates. Any other perspectives are welcome, as well as support for a freebsd-update approach. I am working to refine my proposal, which as you've pointed out is very important. Eventually I would like to help in all three mentioned areas, but for now I must focus on one application. Does anyone think that a custom kernel configuration and management GUI utility would be desirable? I will shape my goals to meet the needs of the community.
