I don't require that people install a fixed set of distributions. In older releases people can specify which "branch" of the release they want (crypto, nocrypto, krb4, krb5) because there are multiple versions of some files, but in recent releases there's only one version of each file, and FreeBSD Update just updates whatever it finds.
