I had many issues with freebsd-update in the past so the last year I 
converted all machines back to "installkernel & installworld" from NFS 
mounted build server. It is faster and predictable than freebsd-update 
(in my case).
I hope that pkg upgrade will be good replacement one day. But I don't 
think it is good enough right now.
