No. One symptom of the problem related to the floppies.

Well, the main problem you may experience is difficulties with
mergemaster(8) after you install the ISO you downloaded and then try
to upgrade to a future version. Your configuration files will lack
detailed $FreeBSD$ strings and this will confuse mergemaster. This is
more trouble than it's worth though.
The answer is simple. Wait until the release is announced.

As always, an email will be sent to announce@FreeBSD.org and the
website will be updated.
