The *safe* option would be to run a pkg_add -u after each sysupgrade. depending on what packages you have installed and how you use them in your setup you would be faced with either just the minor annoyance of waiting for the command to complete, or stupid things like, having changed your user's shell to something not from base (eg /usr/local/bin/bash) and the ABI changed, you find yourself unable to log in. I would personally spend those extra seconds waiting for the intermediate pkg_add -u to complete before moving on to the next sysupgrade. -- Peter N. M.
