    I was not necessarily thinking of local changes to the source tree, but
    also of some applications that can be compiled with customized options
    (e.g. sendmail with TSL+SASL support). Of course, I agree with you,
    that the majority of end users will not do this (or use one of the
    ports).

    Btw. I just had a look at the web site[1], and it seems that
    freebsd-update can deal with systems that were updated using the source
    based method.

    I haven't tried it, either. I guess that you will need to reboot as soon
    as the kernel is patched, otherwise shutting down and restarting the
    service in question should be enough.
