The upgrade package only applies those changes to the release that are needed to allow the current ports tree work on your system, it doesn't upgrade all the parts of your system to 4-STABLE. If you want to upgrade to 4-STABLE see the section titled "The Cutting Edge" in the FreeBSD Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/). Once you've synced your /usr/src tree with STABLE as described in the handbook, make sure you read /usr/src/UPDATING. Regards, Neil.
