How stable are folks finding FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE to be? The improvements
are welcome, but there have been a few troubling messages about kernel
panics and VM issues on the various mailing lists. It's never clear
until the release drops whether these are actual problems with the
software or hardware defects in individual systems, so I am eager to
hear how the new release is working for everyone.

I agree that on the mailinglist it looks like this happens:
1. X.Y-RELEASE
2. bugfixes on X.Y-STABLE
3. half way between 2 releases X.Y-STABLE looks pretty good
4. announcement code freeze X.(Y+1)-RELEASE is coming
5. MFC all kinds of new features from -HEAD to -STABLE
6. A lot of mails about bugs and also fixes
7. X.(Y+1)-RELEASE
8. bugfixes on X.(Y+1)-STABLE
9. half way between 2 releases X.(Y+1)-STABLE is pretty good
But in the end a mailinglist is a collection of problem reports and not a
collection of success stories. For a lot of people it runs very well and
you never here them.
So I guess it all runs pretty well unless your system does not.
Cheers,
Ronald.
