Put another way, if you want to upgrade to 7.0-BETA4, follow the instructions at

  http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-11-freebsd-major-version-upgrade.html

not the simpler "minor version upgrade" instructions (even though that page says
that the minor version upgrade instructions apply when going from 7.x to 7.x).

It's irritating to have to rebuild all of the installed ports, but (unless some
disaster strikes) this should be the last time it is needed until FreeBSD 8.x
happens ~2 years from now.
