And your argument could be not to use -STABLE or -RELEASE since
both would have the same problems. Like I said before, it's not which
version that is run since one can just make a mistake in /etc/rc.conf and
the machine would boot in a continous loop and panic. I was just saying
running a kernel with new sys tree on a older binary tree might not always
work even though we hope to have it that way. There is a difference
between make world then new kernel and then reboot then make new kernel
and then reboot and then build world and then make another kernel.
