I am interested only in upgrading.

What about S11 express SRUs? Let's say I need SRU5. I'll install Nevada
151a and then what?

pkg update '[email protected],5.11-0.151.0.1.1'
...
pkg update '[email protected],5.11-0.151.0.1.2'
...
pkg update '[email protected],5.11-0.151.0.1.3'
...
pkg update '[email protected],5.11-0.151.0.1.4'
...
pkg update '[email protected],5.11-0.151.0.1.5'

Because if I run directly update to *.1.5, I am not guaranteed to have
lastest binaries from SRU0-4.

Moreover 'entire' does not list every package, so I should rather run

pkg update '*@0.5.11,5.11-0.151.0.1.1'
...
?
