Okay, I totally understand that FreeBSD wants people to upgrade from  
6.2 to 6.3.  But given that 6.3 is still experiencing bugs with things  
that are working fine and stable in 6.2, this is a pretty hard case to  
make.

This is also a fairly significant investment in terms of time and  
money for any business to handle this ugprade.  It totally understand  
obsoleting 5.x now that 7.x is out.  But 6.2 is barely a year old...
