Not sure, but I don't want to rule out building them all for a couple
or reasons. I have a new box which is probably fast enough to make it
worthwhile to build packages for some slower boxes I have. Second thing
is rebuilding the system from source and then building all the ports is
a good stability test. Bottom line is probably that I would rather plan
to have the space available and not need it then to need it and not
have it. Seems like in the past this was a problem for me.

Thanks, this helps. The automatic layout didn't include /usr/xenocara
There used to be a recommendation in the past to have that as a
separate filesystem. How large should it be?

Is there any reason to track -stable anymore or has syspatch done away
with the need for that?

Seems to me, after trying to install OpenBSD on a new box, a lot of the
helpful in the FAQ is totally AWOL now and I find it hard to get all
the info together.
