Paranoia is hardly compatible with laziness.
To upgrade RELENG_4_3 to RELENG_4_3 you must know that previous version
is now danger. Hence you read at least announce@.
If you read announce@ you can know that new release is published.
Hence, you know that tag should be changed and you have to prepare
for possible problems.

Cut it with Occam's knife.
