Upgrades and errata have gotten much easier.
For example, running syspatch(8) automagically downloads and applies the errata patches.
To upgrade, just curl the new bsd.rd from a mirror, place it in /, reboot, and type `boot bsd.rd` at the boot prompt. Then follow the prompts. I do this on several VPSes via a VNC console. It doesn't take long at all.
Granted, for personal use, I've moved back to Debian as well.
