I'm now considering if I will do the upgrade to 5.2-RELEASE, or reinstall the system with 4.9 or 4.10. The 5.x branch seems to remain rather unstable longer then I had anticipated. What would you guys recommend, wait out for 5.3 (which is supposed to be 4.x-like stable), or move back to 4.9 (or 4.10 soon). Will 5.2 be much better? I know I made the move too soon, but at that time, I was relatively new to FreeBSD (coming from linux) and I misjudged the readiness of 5.x and I hadn't forseen that my homeserver would become that important (It is a CVS repository for 4 websites now).
