Since I am not a FreeBSD developer (though I've fed folks snippets

snapshot? ftp.freebsd.org seems only to have one snapshot per
month, and does not have one for this month yet. (Hopefully,
when they post one, it will have the archive bug fixed.)

Download and install 6.2R. The just cvsup upto the day you want. In general, and especially in the last while, RELENG_6 seems to have been quite conservative in MFC'ing code. I cant think of anything that got merged back that was disastrous. I have quite a few boxes that track RELENG_6 and have had good results to date.
