When a new, or not, user downloads an image file for FBSD, he/she is
getting an image file with this obsoleted version. They must then use
'portupgrade' to change the obsoleted 'linux_base-8' to the newer
version.

This could easily have been avoided by issuing a newer mirror version. I
cannot see any reason why this is not feasible.
