And it is staying in UPDATING. Single user is the only safe way to do it. Often times you can get away with not going to single user with the new kernel to do the install. I often do make buildworld make kernel make installworld reboot when I'm moving a little at a time. For large jumps, the single user trip is required (I know, I've tried to skip it and gotten bit, which is why I make sure I have a new kernel to boot as necessary).
