In other words it is not impossible. But put it down plain and simple, its VERY VERY difficult and not worth it as upgrading from 4.X to 5.Y wwould not upgrade the filesystem from UFS to UFS2.

then stick with 4-stable. upgrading from 4-stable to 5.* without reinstall would be nothing else than a work of art.
