FreeBSD Update will work on FreeBSD 6.1 before the first security
advisory affecting 6.1 is released.

Yeah, quite reassuring!

The only reason it doesn't
already work is that I was getting ready for my flight to BSDCan

I know you're kind of a busy person, which makes your work being even
more appreciated!
