Personally, I don't bother with single-user mode at all within release branches. I do everything in multiuser mode and reboot afterwards at my convenience. I've never had a problem, but I do check UPDATING just in case there's anything abnormal. I do it by the book when moving between releases branches though, and reboot into single user mode after installing the kernel.
