A few observations: 1) running freebsd-update install twice without rebooting after the first would severely damage the installation, because the old kernel lacks some system calls and eventually rendered /bin/sh unusable, even after a reboot. Following installation instructions strictly will work just fine. We may want to say somewhere in the release notes or announcement, that the user should really do reboot after the first `freebsd-update install` for the upgrade. 2) Both etcupdate and freebsd-update have some problem handling /etc/motd (with a recent change, /etc/motd become a symlink). freebsd-update will ask if the file should be deleted (I kinda wanted it to leave the file as-is and let rc.d scripts to perform the migration). 3) The lack of $FreeBSD$ expansion doesn't seem to cause problems for either of freebsd-update and etcupdate.
