There are two "sources" to synchronize. The first is the OS, which I 
wouldn't recommend unless you're tracking -stable. The second is the 
ports tree, and it is very useful.

If you track -stable, then you will be getting timely bug and security 
fixes. If you stick with -release, then cvsup isn't needed except to 
sync the ports tree (which is still a good thing).
