We have a doubt, if we have kern.securelevel=-1 and we are doing a
security upgrade (for example: that server is using 4.6-RELEASE and its
tag is tag=RELENG_4_6), are there any reason to switch to single-user
mode?

We are upgrading remotely some servers without switch to sigle-user, but
in all cases are security upgrade only and all works fine.

Thanks,
Paulo.
