I'm in the process of setting up a small network of FreeBSD
installations. My plan (this time) is to keep them on branches available
to freebsd-update, instead of depending on source being checked out from
CVS.
However, I'm a wee bit curious of whether I will be able to upgrade from
8.2RC3 or if I should wait until 8.2 is actually released with the setup
(I _CAN_ wait a week or two).
Any insight would be appreciated.

To analyze vmcore files produced by kernels at or after this version you will need updated userland, libkvm actually, that is able to handle the new version.
