I just noticed the description in the man page for freebsd-update:

..."Note that updates are only available if they are being built for  
the FreeBSD release and architecture being used; in particular, the  
FreeBSD Security Team only builds updates for releases shipped in  
binary form by the FreeBSD Release Engineering Team, e.g., FreeBSD 6.1- 
RELEASE and FreeBSD 6.2-RC1, but not FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE or FreeBSD 7.0- 
CURRENT."
Is this saying that I can't get a binary upgrade for 6.4-STABLE?
