Something that I do (on a local network, not across the internet) is build stable on a fast machine using make release (man 8 release), then push it to an ftp server, and do ftp upgrades. I find that a lot easier than walking around the lab with a cd. Especially if you can do the updates remotely via ftp, but that'd be more of a custom-style bsd.rd, and therefore not supported officially. If you or your clients don't have a fast connection, CDs for them may be easier though. Definetly read the release(8) manpage.
