Probably not.  The OP should wait until 8.2-RELEASE happens and then
upgrade, otherwise run RELENG_8 (STABLE).  8.2-RELEASE is literally
right around the corner.

Someone really needs to come up with a defunct template response to
people who are running -RELEASE expecting bugs to be fixed; the bugs get
fixed in -STABLE, if you want those fixes run -STABLE, otherwise wait
until the next -RELEASE comes out.
