It's not, and never has been. The documented and officially supported
upgrade path is:
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
make buildworld
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
[1]
<reboot in single user> [3]
mergemaster -p [5]
make installworld
make delete-old
mergemaster [4]
<reboot>
For other procedures, you're on your own.

Well, yes, that could be a problem. To say the least.
