There are not many boxes I could try 9.0 on, because they're in production with pfsync to conserve client sessions and I'm loath to take risks with most of our firewalls. I'm thinking we might jump straight from 8.x to 10 when the time comes, I'm really looking forward to Gleb's work on CARP and PF ;)
