No, a genius would have set up the upgrade software to interactively
question the user about whether they wanted to leave that facility
enabled, based on the upgrade software's understanding that the
upgrade process would in fact disable features, and if there was a
moral equivalent to "upgrade -y", then everything that was enabled
would be left enabled, even if that meant adding command line options
into the rc.conf entry for the sshd arguments.

Do Not Change Behaviour On Upgrade Without Eplicit User Approval(tm).
