from EoL minus 6 months to EoL minus 3 months, in order to increase the odds
of there actually being a more recent release to which users can upgrade.
(In particular, for releases which are only supported for 12 months, it's
quite likely that the next release will occur between 6 and 9 months later.)

patching and for rolling back updates, don't copy a file if it has already
been stored. This provides a significant speedup to the "Preparing to
download files" stage of "freebsd-update fetch" if many updates have already
been applied or if a file being updated is linked many times (such as
/rescue/*).

operating with the "-b basedir" option would not correctly update files
which had flags set or were hardlinked.

1. When downloading metadata files, make sure we only download each
file once; without this fix, "freebsd-update fetch" will fail the first
time it is run if there have been no updates yet for the installed
release.
2. If the FOO kernel is installed in /boot/kernel instead of /boot/FOO
and the /boot/FOO directory does not exist, don't try to update
/boot/FOO. This is an issue only where an update involves adding a new
kernel module.
3. When removing files and directories, operate in reverse
lexographical order, in order to ensure that files are removed before
the directory which contains them.
