For me, time can be spared, but errors should be avoided at all costs.
I have upgraded FreeBSD before, for example 7.0 -> 7.1. I use the
buildworld/buildkernel procedure.
I now have a 7.1 system. Should I upgrade to 7.2 and then to 7.3, or
is it safe to go directly from 7.1 to 7.3?
I have upgraded several times across major versions without any problems.
(5.x to 6.x, 6.x to 7.x). Each time I simply changed the supfile to the
version I wanted to upgrade to, fetched the files and rebuilt world and
kernel. After those are complete, I run a portupgrade -a to sync all the
ports with the new sources.
Note that this is *not* the way to do it if you absolutely must avoid
problems, however slight the risk.
