This is a dangerous way to do it: you're running the new userland on an old kernel. In particular, this approach will very likely spell trouble for a 6.1 -> 6.2 upgrade. These are among the reasons why I suggest what I suggested (with two reboots). The manual upgrade method is generally not recommended and not really a supported way to run -current. Therefore, I don't think I want to add something to current.html.
