Not yet. AIUI, the RELENG_4_3 branch is an experiment, and gives us the
option of providing security fixes this way. I haven't seen a
commitment[1] from the security officer team that they will actually do
this.
Until that happens I don't think it should be documented.

[1] Not a slur on the fine efforts of the security team. I mean that I
haven't seen an e-mail that says "Yes, any security fixes to RELENG_4
will *definitely* be made available on the RELENG_4_3 branch".
