The title is by itself intimidating for the beginning-intermediate user who is already convinced it is best for him to use "RELEASE" until he is comfortable with the system. And using freebsd-update is essential (and a rather easy task) at any user level. How about changing the chapter to something like "Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD"? The first sections could deal with security updates and minor / major version upgrades using freebsd-update. Later sections could deal with -STABLE and -CURRENT It would probably need more than a few rewrites and reorganization though
