If I'm the OP (original poster ?) I'm running GENERIC, and 'uname -a'
output has remained '8.2-RELEASE-p4' despite running 'freebsd-update
fetch', 'freebsd-update install', and then rebooting the system, over the
past couple of weeks.
I did download the source, ran 'freebsd-update fetch' and 'freebsd-update
install' to update the source, then compiled a new kernel using the
GENERIC config file, rebooted, and now 'uname -a' output shows the
'-p4' version number, but I was trying to avoid compiling kernels.

I don't know about the -p4 update. By rights it should have involved
updating the kernel by one or other of the two methods shown. So far
however, we've seen two reports questioning that[*] and none saying that
the -p4 update did in fact update the kernel. Which is suspicious, but
hardly conclusive.
Do you compile your own kernel, or do you have a machine that uses
GENERIC? If you do, what is the output of uname -a on it?
Me personally? No, in general I track -STABLE on my systems. Try
asking the OP.
