IIRC, the users on quarterly branches want less moving parts that result in
accidental bustage in cosumer ports, due to old configs, etc. Regular updates
are fine as long as maintainer or committer understands the risks. It's a
tradeoff of maintaining an old version + new version or just a new version
which sometimes drives even major backports like with lang/gcc or
devel/boost-*.

ports-secteam only cares about security fixes while the rest lies on the
interested parties. Many bug fixes are also covered under blanket unless tied
to the update.

Bug 217635 affects 2017Q2 even without the update here. The regression was
introduced in 1.3.0 but even landing upstream didn't help to propagate the fix
to the port.

1.3.1 has other bug fixes, including for OpenCL 2.0, but ultimately still
broken on FreeBSD. It is low-risk compared to 1.3.0 but not 1.2.0
