;)

thing is though, why is it there if there's no use for it? i'd have 
thought it would tidy up after itself when done[1], or there'd be a 
switch you could give to the freebsd-update command that'd say like 
'the update completed ok so tidy up these files' after you've 
manually checked everything was working ok after the upgrade & reboot

[1] maybe not by default so an update could be rolled back
