The reason why it worked not that long ago is that RELENG_7 hadn't deviated much from RELENG_6. It's hard to make any arbitrary FreeBSD version upgrade to current. A long time ago we made the decision that we'd support upgrades from just the previous branch to current. So, the supported way to upgrade from 6.X is to upgrade to RELENG_7 and from there you should be able to upgrade to current. -- John Birrell
