I must confess ignorance (and I haven't exhaustively searched the mailing list archives, the Handbook, or the FAQ), but is this the recommended method of upgrading from a previous major release to the latest -STABLE major release (i.e., going from 2.x to 3.x today, or from 3.x to 4.x when the time comes)? I thought the official procedure was cvsup, or is that for updating only within a particular major release?
