When we buy new hardware, we first try the version the older hardware is using. If all works, we stick with this version. If there is a problem, we switch to the most current release. TO make life easier, we switch all other machines to this version then. While upgrading FreeBSD, we stick to a branch as long it is supported. When support stops, we switch to the most current release. This would mean in your case to stick with 9.x as long as 9 has support and then switch to 11.x or what else will be the most current release when support for 9 is stopped. I never saw any other reason to switch branches. It causes to much interruptions. Erich
