Well, I've done a FreeBSD 2.1.6 -> 2.2.1 upgrade recently using the
"Upgrade" option under sysinstall.

I also apply patches to Solaris2 using their tools too.

But both of these are "blow-away" installations, if need be. When the
box you care about runs sunos4, there is no motivation to upgrade :-)
