No, RELENG_3. :-)

I've just done it on my own box with incredible success. Just 

     *  Update your sources.
     *  Make sure you have nothing stupid defined in /etc/make.conf.
     *  Make sure you have lots of disk space (I survived with 600MB).
     *  Make sure you read src/UPDATING and change yoru kernel config if
        necessary.

     *  make upgrade

It's an interactive procedure, so expect to have to hit your keyboard a
few times along the way.

I was _very_ impressed. Hats off to the men in black. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
