OpenBSD and security

The OpenBSD security page tells us that,
OpenBSD believes in strong security. Our aspiration is to be NUMBER ONE in the industry for security (if we are not already there).
The OpenBSD FAQ warns us that,
The ports tree is meant for advanced users. Everyone is encouraged to use the pre-compiled binary packages.
It also warns that,
When serious bugs or security flaws are discovered in third party software, they are fixed in the -stable branch of the ports tree. Note that binary packages for -release and -stable are not updated.
Am I somehow missing the obvious?

Update: M:Tier's offering looks relevant.
