> Who is working on FreeBSD update? Maybe I can make a feature request.
Or, even better, make a patch - FreeBSD is open source, everyone can work on it! Sorry, couldn't resist :-). I know the above remark is generally not very helpful for an average user; however, I was surprised to find out that the freebsd-update(8) was actually a shell script - i.e. modifying it doesn't require one to be a hard-core C hacker. freebsd-update(8) is part of the base system and is, as such, in the source tree that is freely available from the CVS repository (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/freebsd-update/). Being a shell script also means you can go directly to /usr/sbin/freebsd-update and edit it in-place. The author, to the best of my knowledge, is Colin Percival, the current FreeBSD security officer (http://www.freebsd.org/security/index.html#sec).
