Manual Update via WebGUI not working in 2.3.x

Description
The manual firmware update via the WebGUI is no longer working in PfSense > 2.3.x.
That feature ist very handy to update Instances without an Internet connection.
The Wiki Documentation is herein wrong as it points to the update method which was
used until 2.2 and the old GUI:
Files
- Priority changed from High to Normal
- Status changed from New to Not a Bug
- Affected Version deleted (
2.3)
- Affected Architecture added
- Affected Architecture deleted (
amd64)
it no longer exists. Documentation updated.
...is there a chance for getting this back in any way?
My problem is that I'm forced to keep some FWs in highly secured and isolated networks up-to-date,
due to patch management policies from our ISO-27001 / IT-Sec certification.
The "new" workflow" for upgrading offline machines looks like the following for me:
- Backup Config
- ReInstall PfSense in the new version
- Restore Backup
That looks very unhandy...
Am I force to switch this machines to another distribution due to this feature drop?
I hope not.
Please correct me!
