I'm pretty sure this will be possible, but the mechanism will almost
certainly have changed.  By the time 12-CURRENT becomes 12.0-STABLE I
expect that we will have moved onto packaged base.

You can already build a packaged 12-CURRENT.  See
https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase for details.

Given that, the essentials of the process to upgrade to 12.0-RELEASE
would be to add a repo.conf that points at the standard 12.0-RELEASE
repository, and then type 'pkg upgrade'

	Cheers,
