Simple way: upgrade every six months, and follow the -stable branch.
Complex way: Follow -current, upgrade your machines almost constantly.
If you have anything approaching "production", run -stable.  Downgrading

is difficult, and sooner or later you'll hit something that makes your

life difficult, like changing a major feature (ipf -> pf) or upgrading

to packages that were built the day the shared library numbers change.

You can do an "unpack the install files over the running OS" upgrade,

that's detailed in the upgrade guide in the FAQ.  Better yet, you can

put two machines together with CARP and not have any downtime at all.
