Actually you should see a /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC dated May 23, because this file is updated by _only_ by cvsup (and not by any Makefile target) and May 23 is the date of the last change made to GENERIC in RELENG_4 in cvs. However, cvsup will not reset the date when you touched the file in the meantime but didn't actually change its contents. In short: Your GENERIC kernconf is perfectly up to date and you can resume with upgrading your system. If you want to make sure, delete GENERIC and watch cvsup fetch a fresh one dated May 23.
