This isn't specific to that upgrade, but when I do a "make installworld",
I augment the instructions from UPDATING, prefixing the "make
installworld" itself with:

rm -fr /usr/include.old && mv /usr/include{,.old} && \
rm -fr /usr/share/man=20

Thus, I have reasonable confidence that the newly-installed world has no
significant "pollution" from the old world, at least in /usr/include and
/usr/share/man.  (Libraries are a different matter -- and addressed
differently.)

Note, too, that a "standard" source upgrade has no provision for
updating /etc/localtime, in case that may be an issue.

Peace,
david
