Personnally, when upgrading from 4.x to 5.x, we ran into the following 3 issues that are still not fixed in 5.4: kern/80617: Hangup writing large blocks to NFS mounted FS (Patches available) Not exremely important: just don't do that. kern/79208: i387 libm's floorf(), ceilf() and truncf() (Fixed in RELENG_5) PITA when running threaded calculations. kern/78824 socketpair()/close() race condition (Fixed in CURRENT) Patch will be MFC'd to RELENG_5 soon. Anyway: you won't catch me running an unpatched 5.4 system... I'd say stick with RELENG_5 for the time being.
