I know what I'd like: a utility in the base system for binary upgrading
of packages. More flexible logic in how the '-r' option is handled would
be nice (being able to fetch all packages from All/ even if you are
on RELENG). Doesn't

freebsd-update fetch install && pkg_upgrade -a

look nice for keeping up to date? The obvious hairy details must be
harder than it seems, I'm sure others have considered it (and would have
done it) before.
