Additions:
A two stage upgrade process is under consideration, with one stage upgrading the OS, and one for the pfSense code (web UI, startup scripts, etc.).

Upgrade System Replacement
The pfSense upgrade system is going to be rewritten in HEAD and RELENG_1.
The way it'll work is the user goes to the upgrade page, it polls something giving a list of what version(s), if any, are available for
upgrade. Click the desired one, and it downloads and installs the upgrade.
Offline upgrades are also a must-have, so the existing upgrade functionality will likely be retained as is (though improvements are up for discussion).
cvsup and rsync are two options being discussed for the basis of a new upgrade system.
