Why upgrade? In my case it was that performance would be so much better
under 7 than under 6.X. It is inevitable that systems need to be upgraded
as versions become EOL (end of life and no longer supported) or
replaced. In my case I run FreeBSD on servers which have a much longer
life than client desktops or laptops.
For those that have been doing FreeBSD a while, as I have since 1.X. Each
upgrade has its problems. It just takes some patience and ingenuity to
work around them. These mailing lists with the large community help a
great deal.
