Out of some sort of morbid curiosity, why would the FreeBSD developers not update to the latest version? It appears to be stable and I have not seen anything to state otherwise. There are apparently, (obviously) differences between the latest and the version presently used in FreeBSD and I assume the proposed one for the 9.x branch. Mathew alluded to that. In any case, since 9.x is not due out for a while, it would appear to me me anyways that now would be a good time to consider making the switch.
