I ran freebsd-update(8) this morning to update my 10.1-RELEASE-p1 machine to
10.1-RELEASE-p2. After a 'fetch', freebsd-update reports that it will remove /
(the root directory):

    # freebsd-update fetch

When installing the updates, it appears that freebsd-update actually tries to
remove / as well:

    # freebsd-update install
    Installing updates...rmdir: ///: Is a directory
     done.
