Need to build some systems this week. Snapshots?

   Yes, that's the whole point of FreeBSD Update.  Read my paper, or come 
to BSDCon, for details; but rest assured that if you start with a binary 
install from the official FTP or ISO releases, and don't recompile any of 
the world locally, FreeBSD Update will update any binaries which are 
affected by modifications in the security branch.  (Provided, of course, 
that I'm building updates for the release in question -- I'm doing so for 
4.7-RELEASE and 4.8-RELEASE.)
   Because FreeBSD Update identifies the particular binaries affected by a 
source code change and only distributes those, it also saves bandwidth -- 
updating a 4.8-RELEASE system using FreeBSD Update uses less than half the 
bandwidth required to update the source tree with cvsup.
