Okay, I totally understand that FreeBSD wants people to upgrade from

Can you describe the bugs that are affecting you?
This is also a fairly significant investment in terms of time and
money for any business to handle this ugprade. It totally understand
obsoleting 5.x now that 7.x is out. But 6.2 is barely a year old...
The expectation is always that newer versions of a stable branch will
have few regressions, and thus upgrading is a low risk.

Can just the kernel be upgraded or does all of user space have to be
upgrades to.
Most things will work fine with slightly mismatched kernels, but it's
not recommended to do this (some utilities may not work properly).
How would someone recommend upgrading 500 hundred remote sites spread
throughout
Thoroughly test on identically configured machines, roll out
incrementally and make sure you have a fallback (i.e. console access) in
case something goes catastrophically wrong.
