most probably because just about everybody updates using cvsup (but
i might be wrong).

no idea, but this is bound to be in the handbook. [later] hm, looks
like it's not. then i'd say cvsup is the way to go. i've never done
a binary upgrade, because upgrading from the source (using cvsup) is
too easy:
# cd /usr/src
# rm -fr /usr/obj/*
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=...
# make installkernel KERNCONF=...
# make installworld
# shutdown -r now
# mergemaster ...

no. you'll get the sources with cvsup. unless you talk about
updating /usr/src from the newer release cd's.
