   Hi Andreas,
   do I understand it right - the default behaviour of freebsd-update will
   be to update a 9.0 system to 9.1 when it becomes available? So this is
   a rolling procedure?
   I ask this because I could not find a parameter etc. in the man page
   which may influent this, e.g. to limit updates to stay in a main
   release (9.0, 9.0-p1, 9.0-p....., 9.0-p12) but don't upgrade to 9.1.
   Kind regards,
   Matthias

     Yes, it is.
