[Kurt Jaeger]

Hi!

We update if security requirements and SLAs force us to do so.

> like 4.9 to 5.2

We only did upgrades from the 4.x (x being 2-8) to 4.9 until know.

4.9 -> 5.x: We plan to do it, but I've read that there are issues
with it. Jens Schweikhardt (one of the committers) recently
posted some in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc.

We will upgrade our 3.x to 4.x by re-installing, not by using
cvsup. I've heard of people who upgraded from 2.x releases
up to latest releases using only cvsup.
