I read the other guys reply and say "Baaaah!!!" Go for it. Especially with
a clean install. Hey... why deal with aout to elf at a later date. Go to
elf now.

I upgraded my box from 2.2.7 to 3.0 (with a lot of work to recompile all
of my ports) but now my system is entirely ELF. I didn't lose any data or
configuration. I do however have to clean out /etc as I noticed that 3.0
made some changes.
 
HTH!
