I would consider it POLA if we added a warning eight months ago and removed

You've had eight months to update, and now, I'm adding a warning telling
you that you should update, I'm even giving you the correct way to do it.

If you maintain a large pile of FreeBSD machines, you should really switch
to binary packages. I know for $WORK I've gone that way, it's so much
better to just run pkg upgrade, and get back a minute or two later with 200
ports updated.

If the stock binary packages don't meet your needs, install
ports-mgmt/poudriere on a solid box and build your own packages.
