Sorry, I didn't see Andriy's reply before.

Yes, I think advising users to modify a file that could be overwritten by
freebsd-update is a bug.  Most users would be extremely annoyed if they
customized /etc/rc.firewall only to have their changes clobbered by a routine
update.  Worse yet, they might not notice immediately that their firewall isn't
protecting the system as expected. I would update the rc.firewall script to
source a local customizations script that freebsd-update will never touch, and
update the handbook occordingly.
