Colleagues,

I have been updating 6.2-RELEASE with freebsd-update. Recently I
upgraded it to RELENG_6_3 from source. Can I continue using
freebsd-update or must I upgrade only from source from now on?

I conducted an experiment and got inconclusive results. I had upgraded
to RELENG_6_3-p2 where the problems with libpthread and ssh are
already fixed. However, when I ran freebsd-update, it did replace
libpthread and libssh. It also replaced the kernel, downgrading it
from 6.3-RELEASE-p2 to 6.3-RELEASE-p1!

Does it mean that freebsd-update is not recommended after upgrade from
source?
