Description

cutting-edge: Include boot environment use in a major upgrade with pkgbase

Explain the major version upgrade procedure with ZFS boot environments
as an extra safety net in case something goes wrong. Add a workaround
for a problem that may remove pkg itself in some edge cases. Remove
older, unsupported 14.2-RELEASE from the instructions.
