"Upgrades are supported, from one release to the next (read upgradeXX.html)" However, we obviously also allow for upgrades from a snapshot to a later one. And snapshots are identical with an upcoming release once every six months. It follows that you can upgrade from a snapshot to the next release after it. And you can do that with sysupgrade. Just run sysupgrade -r (when the next release is available of course). If you run snapshots, it is implied that you know at what point in the development cycle the snapshot is from. And when we are close to a release. The only thing you have to watch out for is to know which parts of faq/current.html (or upgradeXX.html) apply to your case.
