The hidden cost mentioned applies to all operating systems and upgrading any fleet. The only thing specific, that I noticed, to FreeBSD of the article was boot environments to boot back to the pre-upgrade version.
 
It's worse if you only have one machine you can use, not 2+ servers or whatever you can use in the meantime. So for desktop users, the costs go up, especially the emotional and intellectual cost. There are no clear roadmaps 14->15, for example, and if you have one machine, you're screwed.
