It has never been discussed in FreeBSD mailing lists, while it is mandatory before such important changes. I just used this feature yesterday to repair my -CURRENT installation on a netbook with an USB snapshot image. First I tried freebsd-update but it just failed to fetch the keys from the servers and was unable to produce any sensual error message so I had to fall back to this "flaky" and "broken" feature, which in contrast perfectly worked. I'm sure there are others who have used it recently. Gaborhome | help
