Hi,

The file src/UPDATING in RELENG_7 goes back until 2004 (the RELENG_5  
branchpoint) and is now almost 1000 lines long. Is it an idea to trim this  
file a bit?

And to update this sentence: 'To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable to  
current'?
And footnote [5] seems a bit dated also. 'if you last updated from current  
before 20020224 or from -stable before 20020408.'

Or is upgrading from 5.x to 7 also supported?

Cheers,

Ronald.
