Personally, I've never recommended anyone use BFU who isn't testing
a specific kernel build that's not yet integrated.
BFU is *NOT* an upgrade facility and does not update the OS, just the
kernel and some core utilities. Trying to go from build 93 to build
134 with BFU will almost certainly break your system, as you'll not
get upgrades to the other 80% of the OS packages, many of which the
BFU'ed bits depend on. (For instance, I believe during those builds,
OpenSSL moved from ON (which BFU covers) to SFW (which BFU doesn't),
so a BFU will remove OpenSSL and leave anything using it unable to run.)
