Please revert. It has never been discussed in FreeBSD mailing lists, 
while it is mandatory before such important changes. I just used this 
feature yesterday to repair my -CURRENT installation on a netbook with 
an USB snapshot image. First I tried freebsd-update but it just failed 
to fetch the keys from the servers and was unable to produce any sensual 
error message so I had to fall back to this "flaky" and "broken" 
feature, which in contrast perfectly worked. I'm sure there are others 
who have used it recently.
