FWIW, I've moved all but a single host to either -stable or -current (the sparc64 box) and, with one exception[1], it's all worked great. I don't run loads where a small performance difference is critical so I haven't even bothered to measure for that -- and if I did, I'd buy more hardware if necessary just to get administrator-friendly features like rcNG. I upgraded with the "build a new box, copy the data over, and swap it in" method. I didn't try upgrade in-service hosts, that just seemed like more trouble than it was worth. The single remaining 4.X box I have feels somewhat ... antique ... by comparison the the other boxes. -T 1. MIT `rsh` no longer works properly in my Kerberos environment. This is important because the rsh from the base OS is not kerberized. Luckily, it's not critical for me yet.
