I don't know where you "heard" about the timeliness of the BSDs, but all of them will require updating, in order to be both supported and secure.

MidnightBSD is a pre-packaged variant of FreeBSD. The "download" page has a nearly year-old "late breaking news" statement recommending rebuilding the OS (kernel, userland) from source code after install. It would seem to me that this defeats the purpose of a pre-packaged system, as this is far more complicated than installing Enlightenment on any of the major BSDs.



Since you are looking for prepackaged systems, perhaps you should choose one that has regular updates.
