Hi,

Trying to be a good sysadmin, i like to regularly update. Imagine my 
surprise when my desktop wouldn't load xorg. I mean, I checked
in /usr/ports/UPDATING, and to be sure, /usr/src/UPDATING,
*nothing* about nvidia to be found for around this time. As I'm
sure everyone here is aware, we are exhorted to check UPDATING
so we're not caught out.

So *WHY* were the consequences of PR 261666 not in /usr/ports/UPDATING?
nvidia-driver was updated to (560) i think. 5-something.. the instance before
was moved to nvidia-driver-470 as it's now legacy. That's great and all,
but *WHY* the *F**K* isn't in *UPDATING??!??!?!?!*

Why have /usr/ports/UPDATING at all if you're not, like, gonna update it?!

This isn't the first or second time, with other widely-used ports.

I don't use a whole load of ports. This is a desktop, so ~1500 ports or so.
It ain't just me using freebsd as a desktop, and it ain't just me using 
nvidia-driver.

Lots of ppl might be disinclined to fire off an email like this. 
"Install linux, at least it works", theyll say. And they'll delete FreeBSD.

Great job. Not.
