Ok, as csup is 'deprecated' - I guess what I need to do is move over to
Subversion instead? - As 'freebsd-update' is only going to get me release +
security (-pX), not 'stable'.
At the moment we have a local host that has the entire FreeBSD source tree
on it - so we can just 'cherry pick' versions we need to update - I'd guess
/ hope a similar setup is possible, but with Subversion...
