FreeBSD Update is now semi-officially supported, in the sense that I make
sure that it works but the rest of the security team isn't involved. As I
mentioned earlier, I'm planning on rewriting the build code to make it far
simpler and more reliable; this will make it possible for someone else to
take over if I get hit by a bus, at which point FreeBSD Update will become
officially supported. :-)

Right now I provide prebuilt GENERIC and SMP kernels; I could build some
other kernel configurations, but there's obviously a limit to what is
practical. After I rewrite the build code I'll have to consult with the
release engineering team and the user community about which kernels would
be most useful.
