I upgrade them just one or two times max. between different -RELEASEs. On some very critical machines I'm using RELENG_4_5, but on others no. Also because often they have new / fixed interesting and useful features. IMHO ATA subsystem is so important that should always be as stable as possibile in "-stable" (I'm not criticizing anyone!). I hope these problems will be eventually fixed, before the not so far away 4.6-release... -- bye!
