This depends on the users, not the OS. :-)

Honestly: How are system upgrading tools supposed to know what's
going on in the application area? There ARE tools to take care of
that - freebsd-update is not one of them. Of course it takes
knwoledge and experience to find out how to correctly perform an
update of the operating system AND the installed software, but
that's what you learn by using FreeBSD. I also did crash some
of my systems by skipping the step "think", but it's a great
chance to learn, and if it's just how you dump & restore. :-)

Have you tried adding a version number, e. g. samba34?
