Hi

Now that RELENG_11 has been tagged, I want to update my RPI2 Model B,
which currently is running

FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0 r297561: Wed Apr  6 07:28:56 CEST 2016

Is there anything special to consider, or can I just check out the new
tree and rebuild world?

Looking in UPDATING, only the following entry looks like it might affect
me. But I don't quite understand its consequences:

20160517:
        The armv6 port now defaults to hard float ABI. Limited support
        for running both hardfloat and soft float on the same system
        is available using the libraries installed with -DWITH_LIBSOFT.
        This has only been tested as an upgrade path for installworld
        and packages may fail or need manual intervention to run. New
        packages will be needed.

        To update an existing self-hosted armv6hf system, you must add
        TARGET_ARCH=armv6 on the make command line for both the build
        and the install steps

Thanks for any help,
Toby
