	This is just in case you are not fully up to date in your current
installation - there was a bug found in freebsd-update because a file in
13.2 and earlier became a directory in 14.0 and freebsd-update didn't
handle it. So it is important that your old release is fully up to date
before attempting to upgrade to 14.0.

	If there was nothing to install then you should be fine to go ahead
with the normal upgrade.

	You're running UFS so you don't need to worry about the ZFS changes
and the need to update the boot loader before you upgrade the ZFS pool.
