challenge: end of life for 6.2 is premature with buggy 6.3

Okay, I totally understand that FreeBSD wants people to upgrade from 6.2 to 6.3. But given that 6.3 is still experiencing bugs with things that are working fine and stable in 6.2, this is a pretty hard case to make.

This is also a fairly significant investment in terms of time and money for any business to handle this ugprade. It totally understand obsoleting 5.x now that 7.x is out. But 6.2 is barely a year old...
