FreeBSD-12.2-RC1

I just installed FBSD12.2-RC1 and don't know if I should upgrade?

judd@122-rc1:~ % freebsd-version -ku
12.2-RC1
12.2-RC1
judd@122-rc1:~ % uname -aU
FreeBSD 122-rc1 12.2-RC1 FreeBSD 12.2-RC1 r366352 GENERIC amd64 1202000


Thank you as always!
 
I think that's fine. From FreeBSD News:
3 October: The first RC build for the FreeBSD 12.2 release cycle is now available.
 
Bad idea ...

# freebsd-update fetch install

I was not aware of how the issue of RC was, you always learn something ...
 
12.2-RELEASE announcement is going to be around 27 October 2020 (expected). Until then, I think it's better to stay with 12.1.

Of course, it happens that I was bored and have an external SSD not used, so I installed the 12.2 to see how it ran. The RC1 really goes without any problems with UFS.
Regarding 12.1 I have it well stored.
