I didn't think the FreeBSD team supported downrev releases that
way. Software fixes - either patches, or new versions of bundled
software or ports - showed up in the next release. Since development
on 2.2.8 has officially stopped, you don't get new releases - so you
don't get that kind of update.

On the other hand, if downloading and installing 8.9.3 is more than
you can handle, I'll be glad to provide a support contract at prices
comparable to Suns :-).
