I am teaching a class and hoped to cover version 6.0 but when

error (I found was already known[1] but not in a PR and I don't know
if it is fixed), I realized that I shouldn't use it since I can't test
the hardware in my classroom ahead of time.

Regardless of which release you are using, you really want to test on
the target hardware ahead of time.

Not very easy. I can't expect the facility to test for me since they don't know the first thing about FreeBSD and it would be time consuming to do remotely. And I am over 1500 miles away.

I feel comfortable with 5.4-RELEASE. I have taught over 14 classes covering FreeBSD 4.x through 5.x and don't have opportunity to test in most cases. A few times, I have flown in earlier day and visit classroom and in a few cases companies/students have tested on their hardware ahead of time.
