Can I *safely* do this using cvsup/make buildworld/make buildkernel/make installkernel/boot -s/make installworld? After taking a backup, of course... I just can't see any mention of 5.0 -> 5.2 in src/UPDATING, or the release notes, or anything like that. Is such a course likely to cause any major breakages in installed ports (specifically Apache, rt, mailman)? Trying to do this with minimal disruption, since both servers are in production.
