[Bug 283110] freebsd-update IDS vs. installed permissions for kernels (444 vs 555)

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283110

--- Comment #7 from John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> ---
I suspect some of the difficulty is that you'd have to have some way to know
what the distribution metadata is so you can recognize what a difference is
between the new file and the existing file, and we probably don't store that
information locally on the host.  Possibly this could just be handled as a
special case in freebsd-update though as files rarely change metadata like
permissions.
