        - should I just remove all of them before I do an update?
        - will the fact that sfe and sfe-encumbered are now non-sticky mean
that the updates that come from /dev will leave sfe packages on the
          system, but in a broken state?  Or, will the update automatically
          remove stuff from sfe/sfe-encumbered if their dependencies are no
          longer met?


Because I am responsible for both, JDS and SFE, I can say that it should not be problem to keep sfe and sfe-encumbered as non-sticky. The update will replace older SFE packages with newer JDS (it is system/library/orc which was added to JDS in a9).

You can safely update.

Best regards,

Milan
