Ok this has answered the question, and thanks. This raises another
question for me.. If updating just the sets that you install, and I am
making an assumption here that people would want to update code when
needed, and be supported, why even give the choice on which sets to
install initially if the two extra sets will be installed anyway during
the supported method of updating?
Keep in mind there is more than one way of updating in a supported
manner. Applying the errata patches rarely requires a full userland
rebuild. Also, you can make a -stable release(8) on one machine and
still choose your sets whenever you install/upgrade from them.

That sounds good, and i read http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade41.html
about upgrading, and http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Release
When following stable with the method described in the faq, i didn't
notice anything about "final steps" as outlined in the upgrade faq. Can
i safely assume since i'm not in fact upgrading, only updating that I
wouldn't have to worry about upgrading /etc, new users and groups,
operational changes, /etc file changes and checking the kernel as
described in the final steps of the upgrade faq? Would this leave all
of my /etc files in tact with any changes I have made?
Thanks,
Aaron
