Does it mean that snapshot just outputs a list of ports, deps and variants without their versions, so if I postpone the restore long enough, it'll reinstall current versions of all of them? I'm thinking here about the possibility of reinstalling a system or migrating between machines with same operating system and ending up with some broken ports.
