My Pi2B reporting 

FreeBSD www.zefox.com 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #12 main-2b766d5e5a: Mon Jul 11 01:38:59 PDT 2022     bob@www.zefox.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm.armv7/sys/GENERIC arm

is presently running buildworld on -current dated October 9th. If I'm 
understanding this thread correctly, running installworld will result
in an ubootable system. 

Should I refrain from running installworld for the time being?

Thanks for reading!
