It CAN be done although not recommended. Read the WHOLE of
/usr/src/UPDATING before trying out your experiment. And make sure you
have 0 day backups before starting. I have done it on my PC just for
fun but there would be performance issues as 5.* works with UFS2
whereas 4.* works on UFS. MY personal opinion is there would be
performance degrades after the update.
