    I don't pretend to understand *all* of the reasoning behind the
    recommended upgrade procedure. Since I began using FreeBSD, I have
    performed somewhere around 50 system upgrades on various machines, most
    of them 4.x, and have upgraded 5.1->5.2 on four machines. Of those
    system upgrades, two have failed, or 'not worked.' One of them was due
    to the fact that I didn't follow the recommended procedure (admittedly,
    supplemented with list wisdom), the other, because I didn't follow the
    recommended procedure.

    It just works.
