Otoh, I've never had a problem with FreeBSD upgrades and doing an upgrade is only 'freebsd-update upgrade -r [version]' followed by 'freebsd-update install', re

  OpenBSD is about that easy. Download the new version install image, boot into it, select Upgrade, and let it go. I typically upgrade a couple of months after a new release comes out. That way there's been time for any post-release issues to be shaken out and patched. (There rarely are any, but I'm usually not waiting on any new features, and prefer to be a little conservative). The project supports the current release, and the prior release, so you're not at risk of missing any critical updates with that strategy.

  Yeah, that doesn't always go so great, but I have most of my problems once you do the pkg steps. Plus zfs upgrade needs a bit of documentation on boot code.

    What do you mean by "pkg steps"? Again, I have never had any issues whatsoever with any of this.

      I’ve had pkg fail bad on version upgrades even when forcing it to reinstall everything.
