hi!

is it possible to downgrade a freebsd-current installation to -stable?
or is it better to reinstall the whole system?

thx

Yes.  However, it is tricky and not for the feign of heart.  It
involves doing an install world onto the system, rebooting the stable
kernel and then looking for libraries that are too new.

Would one not want to keep the libraries that are too new for things in
/usr/local that would need them.  Since the shlib symlink will be for the
"older" lib, there really isn't any problem having too new ones present.
