What is the easiest way to install the security update?
I believe -stable is easier to manage than -release + errata, and because -stable may include minor fixes not published as errata, may provide a better platform.

The userland build takes an hour or two with modern PCs. On older or smaller architectures (e.g.: VAX, VME) this may take days. On those systems, -release+errata may be of greater interest than -stable.
