Note change in the supported upgrade path. Prior to this 5.3-release
and newer were supported upgrade paths to -current. After today's
commits, 6.0-RELEASE and newer is supported for jumping to current.
Make that clear in the UPDATING entry. For the pedants out there,
upgrading from FreeBSD_version 600029 and newer should still work.
This represents a point from May 29, 2005 forward. The prior date was
October 16th 2004.
