Just finished upgrading all my work and home systems and VMs, plus one clean install. Smooth painless upgrades from 10.1-RELEASE and no problems encountered, all systems running nicely. Great work, team, your efforts are much appreciated.

FreeBSD foundation has a server that was originally FreeBSD 5.0 32bit and has been in-place upgraded all the way up to FreeBSD 9.3 64bit, not to mention migrated through several physical servers through the years. There are still original FreeBSD 5.0 binaries that are still running and to which they no longer have the original source code.
Even when pushed beyond any sane limits, FreeBSD keeps on trucking.
We warn the reader in advance that the proof presented here depends on a
clever but highly unmotivated trick.

No longer have the original source code? Who are these guys, Microsoft?
