 Thus spake jkoshy@FreeBSD.ORG (jkoshy@FreeBSD.ORG):

 > "/usr/src/UPDATING" is not for -stable consumption.
 
 Hmm.
 I'm not sure if I agree.
 The handbook-part of "make world" clearly states, that one should
 read UPDATING to encouter specific problems that can occur while
 updating.
 
 These information can't be included into the handbook, since the
 handbook applies to all branches and would only waste space.
 
 That is, what UPDATING is for.
 
 On the other hand, -stable's UPDATING is kept VERY userfriendly, and I
 really don't see a problem with it.

I was mistaken.  There /is/ reasonable documentation on upgrading 
via source on -STABLE.
