I used to compile the kernel but now I try to postpone if possible. The trouble isn't the compilation, it's the deployment. I can't compile on my server, I would need to compile on my desktop and somehow move the kernel to the server, upgrade it there, and restart. Then any further upgrades to a newer FreeBSD release would become a much bigger hassle. It's just a matter of spending some time figuring out the process.
