Granted, however I need to make sure that everything works fine in
my environment on my hardware with my software. The reason I use FreeBSD
is that I trust your release engineering moreso than any other vender (as
it were)*, however.. there are still things that could go wrong and I
prefer not to find out when a production server heads south or doesn't
have the right firmware on the RAID card.. so that's why I lag.
Also, at least one piece of hardware is near impossible to
upgrade. An old 486/25 that's running Snort, without a cd-rom and a 200M
hard drive.

What about my question about boot strapping? Does that ensure that
I could compile the world/kernel of 4.x on 5.3?
