Yup, that's what I did. I used /usr/share/examples/stable-supfile 
with only one mod: I explicitly inserted the name of the mirror 
into the file rather than using the -h command line option. I then 
did a "make buildworld", a "make buildkernel", a "make 
installkernel", a reboot, and a "make installworld" (followed by 
"make delete-old", "make cleandir", and "make clean" for good 
housekeeping). Didn't bother with mergemaster, because none of the 
config files was going to need changing.

The routing and ARP mods that I brought in with the update didn't 
make PPTP work. This likely means that not only PPP-based VPN 
protocols but also some PPP dialup connections will not be fully 
functional on 8.0-RELEASE or 8-STABLE. I'd be glad to provide 
configuration files and firewall rules with which all of this can 
be reproduced.
