What is the least problematic route to upgrading NetBSD-0.9 to NetBSD-current?
I have made several ``standard'' changes, including adding crypt support,
but I have also upgraded many of the commands to newer versions, and removed
a few commands as well (replacing passwd(1), for instance).  I have made
several changes to /usr/share, etc., and frankly, I'm not sure I'd remember
all of the changes I've made.
Suggestions?  sup?  Wait for 1.0?  Get binaries?

This is probably a FAQ, but, it's not in my FAQ, and I'm not sure what
the location for the ``official'' NetBSD FAQ is (if there is one).
I'd sure like some information on which FAQ to consult, due to their
recent proliferation.
