OK. I was thinking mainly about folks who aren't installing from src
and building their own sets, simply using the NetBSD provided sets
for binary upgrades, with sysupgrade as mentioned in the Guide:

 https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-upgrading.html#using-sysupgrade  

I count myself among sysupgrade users so anything which streamlines
the process a bit makes it easier for me too.  :-)

Thanks,
