4 - compatiblity, I remember using 5.2.1 and pretty much all software

adjust, now we have a situation where most stuff that worked in 4.x
worked well in 5.1 and 5.2.1 but then broke in 5.3 so effectively 5.3
was liek a new major version over 5.2.1.
5.2.1 was clearly marked as a "developer preview" release and you were
warned not to rely on it for production use. As a snapshot of
FreeBSD-CURRENT, binary compatibility is not guaranteed and often
needs to be broken in the course of development.

Just adding a note: I regularly use FreeBSD on a Toshiba notebook, and
switched from 4.x to 5.x to benefit from cardbus support.
Well, I started with 5.2.1 and all things did well. Since then, I'm
trying to track 5-STABLE with no success. Starting with 5.3-RELEASE,
the ACPI stopped to work, as well as did the rl driver.
So, I switched back to 5.2.1.
