I'm updating a machine from:

FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #0 r331659: Thu Mar 29 12:31:36 EDT 2018 amd64

        to CURRENT (as of last midnight.
        Does this, in src/UPDATING:

        [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries
        needed to do an installworld, you must include the
        COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in your kernel.  Failure to do so may
        leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover. A
        similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is required to run the 5.x
        binaries on more recent kernels.  And so on for COMPAT_FREEBSD6
        and COMPAT_FREEBSD7.

         still apply?
         (It seems ... irrational ... one would need compatibility stuff
 going back to FreeBSD 4 to rebuild/update FreeBSD 13.)


                        Respectfully,


                                Robert Huff
