Here's a list of reasons why we are currently analysing this option:
o filesystem snapshots
o SMART Support (ATA disk monitoring and early warning)
o fast background fsck
o SATA support
o pf
o more recent IPsec (probably usable, it wasn't in 4.10)
o jails: icmp, multi-ip support
o new features in the ports
o better threads (unsure, how much better?)
o SMP/HTT support improved (unsure, how much -- we have crashes on
some 4.10 systems?)
o Changes in the networking code as described in
http://people.freebsd.org/~andre/FreeBSD-5.3-Networking.pdf
We're not migrating any production system right now, but we've
installed two reference server (which will be used as baseline for
other 5.3/5.x systems).
