Don't talk sh*t about packages. If you go the Debian route for example, they always recommend the STABLE branch for installing apt packages (and that branch contains even older packages in comparison with the FreeBSD cluster compiled ones!). And that's good: you want stability? Install standard, prebuilt packages. You want to tune options, optimzations, add-ons, dependencies, go building packages with the ports tree.
The ports system surely needs improvements, but the stablished base is solid.
