--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> ---
For a major upgrade pkg should do the right thing -- `pkg upgrade` after the
2nd freebsd-update install (i.e., after rebooting to the new kernel and
installing new files) should be sufficient. pkg will prompt to upgrade itself,
and will prompt to reinstall packages as the ABI string has changed.
These steps shoud definitely be documented in the handbook and in the
freebsd-update man page. We probably cannot provide a single, common recipe for
folks who have ports installed with custom options, miscellaneous 3rd party
software not from ports, etc. installed but ought to at least clearly document
the point at which things should be rebuilt/reinstalled.
