That does not say that the freebsd-update bits will not change *until*
the official release announcement has been sent.

In my past 15 years involved in the Project, I think we have been very
clear on that.

A RELEASE IS NOT FINAL UNTIL THE PGP-SIGNED ANNOUNCEMENT IS SENT.

I mean, c'mon, dude.

We really, seriously, for all intents and purposes, cannot be any more
clear than that.

So, yes, *IF* an update necessitates a new freebsd-update build, what
you are running is *NOT* official.

For at least 15 years, we have all said the same entire thing.
