Hello,

Since the main goal of OpenBSD is security, I keep wondering about one thing. There are packages like irssi or Thunderbird that should be updated to the newest upstream version. For example irssi's upstream encourages all users to upgrade to the newest one, see:
https://irssi.org/2017/07/07/irssi-1.0.4-released/

Similar situation with Chromium etc. All of those packages exists in newer versions in -current, but it's not an option in my case.

I understand that -stable is not place for the latest packages available and it's expected to be rock solid, but also secure. So I wonder what is the policy in situation when updating to the newer upstream version is more than recommended due the security reasons.

Thanks for clarification,
Lukasz
