Errata is released for the most recent two stable releases and obviously already applied in current. 4.8 stable ports won't be ready yet and current ports may fail anyway. After 4.8 is released for a little while, I imagine the more important ports which are upto date security wise for 4.8 stable, will not be updated at all or maybe if trivial for 4.7, is that right?
