3	+	The overall plan is:
4	+
5	+	1. upgrade only the GENERIC kernel package
6	+	1. update the EFI boot loader /boot/efi/EFI/FreeBSD/current.efi in my case
7	+	1. reboot
8	+	1. upgrade all the remaining base system packages
9	+	1. re-bootstrap pkg for the new userland
10	+	1. delete all non-base system packages
11	+	1. install my minimal useful package list
12	+	1. reboot again
13	+	1. install all the toys
14	+	1. celebrate
15	+
16	+	In practice I didn't quite follow this recipe, but close enough.
