Yes. The freebsd-update distribution for 10.1 was incorrectly built
without lib32; as a result, freebsd-update deletes lib32 when upgrading
from older releases (see https://bugs.freebsd.org/195302). The only way
to fix that was to reintroduce lib32 in the next patch release.
Unfortunately, freebsd-update is not able to tell that a newly created
file belongs to a distribution which is not installed or disabled in
freebsd-update.conf. We decided that this was the lesser of two evils.
I will make an announcement later regarding this and the "rm /" issue.
