This is the sole place, where from what i hear about major bumps. In most times i remember, but yesterday i forgot and so pkg_add -ui failed. Besides forgetfulness it can be missing time to read sources-changes@, so bad timing to upgrade. Together with sloppy reading the commit log messages. Is this would redundancy? Not practical? I thought maybe some people can more easily review/look back faq/current.html, which is more short, than the lot of mails on sources-changes@ without informative subjects. pkg_add -ui fail is enough practical. Yes, so current.html grows fat, and at 4.8 release must remove these notes. This is drawback. How many major bumps are yearly? 4-6? Of course yours decision.
