Well, that proves my earlier point.

But, you brought up that "StrictComponents yes" option and we have to figure
out what it means ...

# When upgrading between releases, should the list of Components be
# read strictly (StrictComponents yes) or merely as a list of components
# which *might* be installed of which FreeBSD Update should figure out
# which actually are installed and upgrade those (StrictComponents no)?
# StrictComponents no

The components are:
Components src world kernel

Then what gives ? Does it not apply to src component ?
