This may sound lame, but is the binary upgrade (presumably via
/stand/sysinstall) something that can be done over the net?  Or when
it replaces my ssh, X11, etc, will my connection die as the old binary
or its libraries get replaced?

I'd prefer to be in front of the console of course, but sometimes it's
not possible.
