10.x?  Surely you are kidding.
9.x?  Still haven't gotten a warm fuzzy feeling about the 9.x series.
Every release, from 9.0 to 9.1 to 9.2, seems to have been forced out the
door before it was really ready.

As a result, I'm in the middle of updating my server from 8.3-STABLE to
8.4-STABLE.

And as for X, some time last summer the combination of X + xdm + xfce4
stopped working in any release of FreeBSD.  ("XDM authorization key
