--- Comment #1 from Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> ---
Yes, all of those files will be used if you `freebsd-update rollback` all the
way back in history.  When I first designed this code (for security updates,
not upgrading between releases) the number of files was small so it was never
an issue.

We should probably have a `freebsd-update purge` which make it impossible to
rollback and cleans up all those files.

OTOH we're going to be moving to pkgbase any decade now and freebsd-update
won't be needed any more... right...?
