Well, this didn't go well, i f**ed-up my boot partition

How did you managed? it was just a matter of copy a file from one place to another.

… upgrade the bootloader …

… Probably not required every minor upgrade.

I should probably recommend it for any boot disk that might be used with multiple computers. Bear in mind, the range of computers that 13.0-RELEASE could not boot.

The release notes say that the bootloader was updated with many improvements and that the boot time is cut to half comparing to 13.0. …

What is the minimum boot time of FreeBSD?

The FreeBSD init system just takes a looooong time and although I am just running it in a VM right now when I actually use FreeBSD for desktop usage the bootup time might be a problem. When windows took too long to boot I would end up doing nothing productive. It breaks the flow. I am gonna use...

Well, ok. Nice to know that you find things "weired".
But do you expect readers that each of them does a diff on the lists?

If you had posted your findings people might look at it.

It's a list of issues that have been fixed in this release (compared to a 'plain' 13.0-RELEASE). It's not a list of issues that need to be fixed, the fixing was already done before the release (they've been commited to 13-STABLE when they were discovered).
