Why has your /usr twice as much on it than mine, then? /usr/src? /usr/ports? du -sh /usr/*? > Your post got me thinking (as did some of the others).

I've recently upgraded an equally outdated box and sysmerge(8) was no fun. Lots of differences in config files after such a looong time makes merging hard.

I think you got it right. /usr is rather static, unless it grows rapidly, like recently for /usr/share/relink/. syspatch(8) gives you patches for errata for the latest release and one version before, IIRC. sysclean(8) gives you a list of files not required by the installed base system and the installed ports.
