Probably more often that you'd expect.  I know I had to install 4.4 in 
our lab (which blocks most net access) full of old machines.  Fortunatly
I have a 4.3 ISO sitting here that I just grabbed fdimage from and 
went on, but it did seem like a rather noticable oversight.  

What about the boot managers in that directory?  Certainly people will
want
to dual boot their new FreeBSD installs?
