I'd say it depends very much on the system's use. For a system which is in production (i.e. doing ongoing work), there is a great deal to be said for not fixing things that aren't broken. Even within a major release branch (7.0 => 7.1 => 7.2) it is not at all uncommon for a point release to introduce new problems along with its new capabilities. If that were not the case, there would be no need for the RE folks to maintain the security/errata branches. Suggesting that the OP consider the risks along with the benefits is hardly irrelevant to a question about upgrading. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
