So what are those of us running a release with 7.1 xorg supposed to do
to upgrade packages?  I don't really want to switch back to pkgsrc X11
as switching back and forth every time something gets seriously broken
seems... broken.  (This would be my 3rd or 5th switch to/fro/back/forth
between non-pkgsrc X11 and pkgsrc X11...)  Right now I can't even
upgrade 7.1 to the latest firefox 59 :(

Thanks.

Later...
