Yep, that's how it was for me.

I've never used FreeBSD update, but I just checked its filelist via an IDS check, and that
does appear to have the xz.../lz... files linked to bsdgrep.

I also just checked the FreeBSD ISO's for i386 and amd64, both dvd, and bootonly,
and none of them have the xz.../lz... files.

Unless I'm reading the results from freebsd-update incorrectly, it appears you will have
these linked files if you follow that upgrade route, this disparity adding to my earlier
suspicions that this change was in error.

Cheers, Jamie
