I mind very much until you prove to me it is not needed.  Below is what I
went thru to reboot a remote box from 5-CURRENT to 4.5.

foo# uname -r
5.0-CURRENT
foo# df /
Filesystem   1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s2a    2088974  1309811   612046    68%    /
foo# boot0cfg -s 1
foo# reboot

$ rlogin -l root foo
foo# uname -r
5.0-CURRENT
!! GRRR WTF??
foo# man boot0cfg
foo# boot0cfg -o noupdate -s 1
foo# reboot

$ rlogin -l root foo
foo# uname -r
5.0-CURRENT
!! GRRR !! GRRR  WTF??
foo# boot0cfg -o update -s 1
foo# reboot

$ ssh foo
foo# uname -r
4.5-RELEASE

!! FINALLY !!
