If we are talking about freebsd-update... It would be nice if 
freebsd-update leave old kernel available in /boot/ as with source 
upgrade (/boot/kernel.old) at least until second reboot (in case of 
upgrade), because if new kernel failed to boot after first reboot, then 
the machine become unbootable without some kind of LiveFS media.
