I have a very small server of my own for the house, and I generally update it to major versions within a few weeks of updating. I think I had it on RELENG_9 within two months of 9.0 being released.

The old toolchain is still the default anyway. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
