I hope it will simplified updates. Freebsd-update was so unreliable and 
unpredictable for me that I returned to the "make buildkernel && make 
buildworld" on builder machine and "make installkernel && make 
installworld" through NFS on destinations. And it has some cons too - 
recompile whole system and reinstall on all machines instead of just 
some small package. It has it's impact on size of backups too.
