    You were not forced to.

    All of your installed software will work fine if you install 6.x
compatibility libraries unless a piece of software is inherently
system-dependant.

    Generally speaking, OpenOffice.org will work fine, and lm_sensors
MIGHT, but it is not guaranteed to.

    As of any major version upgrade of FreeBSD. :)
