In my case it was that performance would be so much better=20 under 7 than under 6.X. It is inevitable that systems need to be upgraded= =20 as versions become EOL (end of life and no longer supported) or=20 replaced. In my case I run FreeBSD on servers which have a much longer=20 life than client desktops or laptops. For those that have been doing FreeBSD a while, as I have since 1.X. Each= =20 upgrade has its problems. It just takes some patience and ingenuity to=20 work around them.
