Congratulations and many thanks to everyone who contributed!

For the future releases, do you have any plans to include an officially
supported tool that will properly update/rebuild all or some of the
installed packages on a system, without removing everything and
rebuilding from scratch, while still maintaining the binary consistency
of the system? I'm thinking at something like the portupgrade tool from
FreeBSD.
