So activating a self restart of the service by default is a bad idea. service -R command can simplify the procedure for the admin given it restar= ts all services already started. Another option is to activate an option of pkg(8) off by default: HANDLE_RC_SCRIPTS =3D true; in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf which will automatically restart the services on upgrade. In the futur it is planed to move this into a trigger (executed at the end = of the entire upgrade process) which will solve the "dovecot" issue, but not t= he one where upgrading requires a procedure.
