Such instructions would presumably be included in the UPDATING
entry.

An additional consideration:  If there is no convert-in-place
mechanism -- i.e. the only way to convert a gbde FS to geli is to

-- it will give some unknown number of production users a strong
motivation to freeze at [last version of FreeBSD to include gbde
support].
