No, but as this is a server, I find it simpler and arguably more
stable to just simply syspatch than to go through the whole process of
sysupgrade to keep my machine updated. Besides, I have binaries and
their associated libraries in the chroot of httpd that need to be
manually replaced when new versions are released. I would gladly do
without this!
