i think i would now prefer to start following RELENG on my
production servers
instead of STABLE (not that im having any issues), so that i can
keep up with
patchlevels of specific servers a little easier.

That easiest if you do it at a version change. Say, for example, 6.0-
STABLE to 6.1-RELEASE or similar.

well i would be attempting a 6.1-STABLE to 6.1-RELENG. i have a dev box
i think im going to give it a go on, and see what happens. if this one
doesnt go well, ill just wait until the next RELEASE increments to the
next.

If you were going the other direction (from a pre-6.1 -STABLE to 6.1 or
from 6.1 to today's -STABLE) it'd be a no-brainer. Even so, I'd be
surprised if you had any issues going "backwards", since it is still a
rather small step.

well i finally had a chance to sit down and try it on my dev box (which is a
port-by-port mirror of my production server), and the STABLE-to-RELENG
buildworld worked fine. since this didnt seem to have any issues at all,
this saturday after my full backup runs, ill migrate that one as well.

thanks for your advice(s),
jonathan
