Note that when you upgrade, libs remain. So if you install 9, and then upgrade to current, things should be smoother in terms of being able to run 9 binaries. Many of my systems are quite old and I have upgraded over many netbsd versions.
I'm impressed with your patience, Greg. I always do a fresh install, mostly just writing over the one before, but sometimes I use Gparted on a usb stick to get it really clean. It gives me a chance to install fresh copies, or even versions, of my basic apps, like foxfire, hexchat/irssi, thunderbird, etc.
