Yes, that was my question. As my last update was an installation of 
5.2.1-RELEASE, I found the date (2004-02-22) in the file pointed by Kris 
(/usr/share/misc/bsd-family-tree). Now I know that I have to follow 
every entry in /usr/src/UPDATING dated after this day.

This information will also be useful one day, on the next system 
upgrade, when I will have to determine which entries in UPDATING are 
pertaining. "uname -a" seems to give the kernel compilation time. I 
don't know if there is a way to know the date of the last system 
upgrade; I sure can mark the day in my agenda.

Thanks again.
