Also, testing upgrades from 3.x (or older) to 4.0_BETA2 is as important
as testing fresh installations.  If you have a 3.x system which you can
afford to take off-line, make a backup, upgrade it, and make notes of what
works and what doesn't (esp. things like sendmail->postfix or sendmail->
sendmail-from-pkgsrc migration)
